The father of an alleged "honour killing" victim has been granted bail in Pakistan "due to lack of evidence".
Samia Shahid, 28, from Bradford, West Yorkshire, died in Pakistan in July.
Ms Shahid's ex-husband is accused of her murder held with of Chaudhry Muhammad Shahid who is suspected to have been accessory to the crime,
Lahore High Court were unable to convict at this stage as the prosecution provided no incriminatory evidence,
The prosecution claimed Mr Shahid was involved in planning Ms Shahids journey to Pakistan in July and also assisted in her murder. The arguments were based on Ms Shahid's alleged conversations with friends and family. The prosecution also highlighted the inconsistencies in the statements by her father in the filed police reports, however the court said it could not accept this as evidence.
Neither of the two current suspects accused of Samia Shahid’s murder have been formally charged. Mr Shahid, who has been in custody since July, will be released shortly.
