Man killed his niece and dumped her body

A man has been found guilty of murdering his niece before dumping her body on wasteland “like rubbish”.

Mohammed Taroos Khan, 53, killed Somaiya Begum, 20, in a “violent attack” in Bradford in June last year.

The Leeds Beckett University student’s body was found 11 days after she went missing. Bradford Crown Court jurors were shown CCTV footage of Khan dragging a large item from his car on to the waste ground where Ms Begum was found.

The defendant had denied murdering his niece, but admitted disposing of her body. But yesterday a jury of eight men and four women found him guilty of murder.
