A young woman was raped and murdered by her “obsessed” uncle before her body was padlocked in a deep freezer, a court heard. There they were raped and their throats cut in what prosecutors described as a “horrific crime” on July 19, 2017. Arshid considered dissolving the bodies in acid or hiding them in a chest-high freezer he installed two days before, it was claimed. The second woman managed to survive and raised the alarm from hospital, leading to the discovery of Miss Dookhran’s body. He also denies one count of sexual assault, and one count of assault by penetration, involving the second woman between November 2008 and November 2010.
