We are currently getting a lot of visitors looking for information on the trial of Harpreet Aulakh and Sher Singh for the murder of Geeta Aulakh last year.

At the time of Harpreet Aulakh and Sher Singh‘s arrests, the press reported that the trial for Geeta Aulakh‘s murder would begin on 1st March.

The CPS has confirmed to MixTogether & Friends that the date has now been moved back significantly.

There will be a Review Hearing on the 21st May, but the main trial is not scheduled to begin until the 18th of October.

This is a blow for all of us who were hoping for swift justice. However, it is better for the Police and CPS to take the time to form a concrete case that will result in a successful conviction.

We will keep you informed of anything else we find out.

Thanks to the CPS for their help in producing this report.

The husband of mother-of-two Geeta Aulakh who was found dying in a London street with her right hand cut off appeared in court yesterday charged with her murder.

Harpreet Aulakh, 31, of Greenford, was remanded in custody until March 2010 by Feltham magistrates.

His prosecution vindicates all those who have known from the start that this was no random murder. The horriffic nature of Geeta Aulakh‘s death has always carried the vicious hallmarks of ‘honour’ crime.

After the coming verdict in the Tulay Goren case, March 1st 2010 will see the start of justice for Geeta Aulakh.

Before the general election, all political parties will have a chance to set out in detail their plans to tackle the honour or ‘izzat’ system that lies behind both of these murders.

British values dictate that this alien value system be stamped out fast, to prevent yet more criminal behaviour in the name of ‘izzat’.
