Its completely a case of an inhuman act, Just because his daughter was playing loud music to murder her is insane well she ofcourse is not here to defend herself.

I do find it quite not understanble how significant no of asians migrated from past few generations to UK (western country) to live here and expect thier children not be influenced by western culture when thats what they wake up to everyday.

Thank you for the links monone

That is really tragic stuff.  The guy obviously had anger management issues and was a control freak.  Hope he's happy now that he's snuffed out an innocent life.

Thanks for these links Monome, I have been hoping to hear more about this case.

The BBC report is far more informative about the motives and the fact that Amrit's relationship with a white man was part of the underlying problem.

BBC has this tucked out of the way, but it neatly illustrates Cameron's point about the need for more of a common culture.

The fact that he could be out in 15 years is not justice 

I found this aswell:

This is horrendous... so called respectable sikh..devout and all that...he spends time in prison for attacking his second wife with a chisel..what on earth were the law doing about protecting any woman in his household on his release?

Im sickened by his act of 'tidying' the scene and going to the police station...and yes..15 years of time in prison does not pay for the years she would have been if she had lived...she would have benn 39 by the time he is let out on good behavour..I hope they keep him in.

He looks strangely familiar to me from my childhood...

Horrible.
