Shahid’s husband, Syed Mukhtar Kazam, claimed he was told the “happy and bubbly” 28-year-old had suffered a fatal heart attack. A source close to the family told the Guardian they believed she died after an asthma attack. The police officer leading the investigation in Pakistan told the Guardian he had sent samples from the body to the country’s top forensics lab in Lahore on Tuesday. “I am sure my wife is killed by the family,” Kazam said. Kazam, a Pakistani national, claims Shahid’s family did not approve of their “love marriage”.
