Murdered Seema Banu wanted to flee 'dangerous' husband and told shop security worker: 'He will kill me'

Murder victim Seema Banu cried that she wanted to leave Ireland for her native India but her inquest has heard she did not want to go with her "dangerous" husband and said: "He will kill me."

Banu made the statement to a shop security worker who she spoke to in December 2018, saying Sameer Syed "tortures her all of the time."

It was just under two years before she, her daughter Asfira , 11, and six-year-old son Faizan Syed were found dead at their home in Llewellyn Court, Rathfarnham, south Dublin in October 2020.
