A British mother was callously shot dead as she prayed at the graveside of a
relative in Pakistan, her brothers said today.

Tania Yousaf, 22, was forced by her killers to beg for her life in a phone
call to her husband before she was gunned down with her parents Mohammed,
51, and Pervaz, 49, in May.

The mother-of-two was shot in the legs, but managed to run for cover as the
trio from Nelson, in Lancashire, were ambushed by a gang of up to eight men
with machine guns.

They tracked her down after killing Mr and Mrs Yousaf and then pulled out a
mobile phone and ordered her to speak to her husband.

Her brother, Asad, 25, said today: 'They made her beg for her life and then
they just shot her.

'She begged for her children and said she needed her two little boys.'

Asad will tonight attend a parliamentary debate on the case along with his
two brothers, two sisters and other family members and supporters.

They are demanding justice over the killings which took place days after the
family travelled to the Gujrat district of north-east Pakistan for Asad’s
wedding.

Taxi driver Mr Yousaf and his wife and daughter stayed on as the rest of the
family returned to the UK and were paying their respects at the graveyard in
the village of Marain when the raiders struck.

Two of the wanted men, brothers Shiraz and Naveed Arif, were granted
pre-arrest bail soon after the murders but then failed to attend court and
went on the run.

Their mother, Rahmat Bibi, has also been arrested and since bailed. 

According to the Yousafs, she has openly told Pakistani media that her
family was responsible and that 'only half the job has been done and the
other half will be done soon'.

The killings were prompted by the marriage breakdown between Mrs Bibi’s
daughter, Nabeela, to Kamar, the eldest Yousaf brother.

They lived in Nelson and had been married for 10 years before they separated
last year.

The couple, who have two children, were attempting a reconciliation at the
time of the shootings.

The Yousaf family has criticised the Pakistani police and government,
together with British authorities, for their lack of action in attempting to
apprehend the two brothers and the other gang members.

Tory MP for Pendle Andrew Stephenson will outline the case in an adjournment
debate to fellow MPs and Foreign Office officials.

In August, Birmingham couple Begum and Gul Wazir were shot dead in a village
in the remote Nowshera province of north-west Pakistan. 

It is understood their deaths were caused by a family dispute when they
rejected marriage proposals for their two daughters.

More than 100 family members and supporters of the Yousafs travelled from
Lancashire to the House of Commons.

The whereabouts of the Arif brothers are still unknown despite the Gujrat
head of police reportedly stating in May it would be a matter of days before
they were caught.

One of their own brothers, Khorsheed, was said to have been accidentally
killed in the spray of machine gun fire as he stood to the fore of the gang
which encircled their targets.

Asad said: 'We do not understand how they got bail. How can you get bail in
a murder case?'

His brother, Imran, 21, added: 'The police had their house surrendered but
they managed to get away. We think corruption has played a part here.

'The senior officer in charge of the investigation from the start was
replaced and has been followed by a number of different officers.

'We haven’t had any hardly contact from the Pakistani police or government
and we are concerned that not enough has been done.'

Asad said: 'We have heard the brothers went back to the village a few months
ago for Eid. 

'They threatened the villagers about speaking out and told them they were
not scared and would rather die than give themselves up.

'We have to watch our backs now. We cannot go back to Pakistan.'

The brothers said there was no forewarning of the carnage that was to follow
on May 20 amid the marriage problems of Kamar and Nabeela. 

It is understood neither were interested in reuniting but that the two
families were at odds, with the Yousafs wanting the marriage to work.

Sources close to the family dismissed newspaper reports that Kamar, 28, had
a secret love child by a white girlfriend as untrue.

Imran said: 'It is hard to wake up in the morning knowing that your mum and
dad and sister are not there.

'Tania has missed the first birthday of her youngest son. Her three-year-old
son is always saying "where is my mother?"'

The family hope tonight’s presentation will lead to closer co-operation
between government officials from both countries and the investigating
authorities in the bid to catch the killers.
