Lovers accused of hotel murder

A CHEATING wife and her older lover flew across the world to murder her husband in a Pakistan hotel room, a court heard this week.

Shop manageress and law student Yasira Pervez, 24, of Pendle Street, Accrington, wanted out of her arranged marriage to her cousin Khurrum Mukhtar after starting an affair with her boss Ian Priddle, 46.

At Christmas 2006 they flew to Pakistan where Pervez lured Mr Mukhtar to a hotel room to "get rid of him", it was alleged by the prosecution at Manchester Crown Court.
