A mother and father who murdered their daughter because she would not embrace their Pakistani culture were given away by a single nod.

A body language expert has analysed footage of Iftikhar and Farzana Ahmed lying to the public about 17-year-old Shafilea's 2003 disappearance, claiming they were being racially victimised, for a documentary.

However, according to expert Cliff Lansley - who shares his findings on Investigation Discovery's Faking It: Tears Of A Crime - he gives a self-incriminating nod as he gives his response.

Mr Lansley explained that the fact that his head moved in an up-and-down motion at the moment when he was pressed on his involvement in the murder, at almost the exact time he expresses his verbal denial, is a significant indication of guilt.

Nine years after Shafilea disappeared, the truth finally came out in court - her father had stuffed a plastic bag in Shafilea's mouth, holding it there until she stopped breathing.

Also very interesting how this expert analysed the interview.

Honour killings are a cultural phenomenon, not an Islamic one.

Tis a sad day when you value your religion/culture more than your own children.

It's frightening to think that both countries where this backwardness is tolerated have nuclear weaponry.

Honour killings are abhorrent but this nod business sounds a bit flimsy (and don't they nod and shake differently in the subcontinent anyway?).

I thought that Ramruna, some Indians (possibly Sri Lankans) nod for no and shake for yes. Sounds like they dunnit, either way.

I don't mean England detraveller, as far as I know the police will normally prosecute murderers if they have the evidence to do so.
