(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 17 - All the relatives probed in the disappearance of an 18-year-old Pakistani-Italian girl on April 30 last year were indicted for her suspected 'honour killing' on Tuesday.
    Saman Abbas went missing from the family home at Novellara near Reggio Emilia after refusing an arranged marriage with an older man in Pakistan.
    A preliminary hearings judge (GUP) on Tuesday indicted her uncle, Danish Hasnain, and her two cousins, Ikram Ijaz and Nomanhulaq Nomanhulaq, who were arrested in France and Spain after fleeing Italy.
    Also indicted, in absentia, were Saman's parents, Shabbar Abbas e Nazia Shaheen, who are believed to be hiding somewhere in Pakistan.
    The trial will start on February 10 next year.
    Saman's younger brother has told prosecutors her uncle strangled her and the others helped him dispose of her body, which has yet to be found despite intensive searches. (ANSA).
