Mum-of-four Saima, 34, was found at her home in Overstone Road, Luton, Bedfordshire, at around 11.30pm on May 23.

The care worker's throat was slit with a shard of glass, unconfirmed reports suggested, while her family - including her parents and her taxi driver husband Hafeez Rehman - attended a funeral at a local mosque.
