Man launches campaign to clear mum's name after she's accused of murdering husband in Pakistan

A Brit whose mum faces a possible death penalty after being accused of ordering the murder of her husband in Pakistan has launched a campaign to clear her name. Yasmin Kausar, 62, is being detained in a 'hell hole' after the charred remains of her husband of 23 years Mohammad Farooq, 65, were found in a car at a rubbish dump.

Police believe Mr Farooq from Headingley, Leeds, was strangled at the family's Pakistan home in a town near Rawalpindi in the Punjab. His body was then put in a car and driven to a rubbish dump around 27 miles away where the vehicle was set alight.

HIs charred boy was found at the dump at Morgah, near Islamabad, on April 1. Police last week said they believed Yasmin was in a relationship with one of her co-accused, Abdul Waheed, 22, who was arrested alongside Abdul Idrees, 24.
