Scottish Businessman And His American Wife Murdered


A Scottish businessman and his American wife were gunned down in the street in a suspected honour killing while on holiday in Pakistan. 
Glasgow-based Saif Rehman, 31, and Uzma Naurin from New York, 30, were shot dead when their car was ambushed in the north-eastern city of Gujrat following a shopping trip. 

The couple had been about to start a new life together in the U.S. after their trip to Pakistan for Mr Rehman's brother's wedding. 
It is understood the couple were accompanied by a driver, Mr Rehman's sister and her two-year-old daughter, but the other passengers were unharmed. 


Sources close to the dispute last night suggested Mr Rehman's relatives had been happy with the marriage, but ithad caused upset among some of his bride's relatives. 

Saif Ali, 30, of Cumbernauld, Dunbartonshire, who runs a mobile phone repair company, met Mr Rehman – who ran a similar firm called GSM Communications in Glasgow – three years ago. 

He said: 'It was a long-distance relationship between Saif and Uzma but they made it work really well. Saif had just got a visa to go to the U.S., so they were on the brink of a new life together when this happened. 

Describing their murder, Mr Ali added: 'They were going back home and basically, all of a sudden, their driver just stopped the car. 

'Four people were in a different car which stopped in front of them.  They pulled Saif, his sister, her daughter and his wife out of the car and, as soon as he was pulled out of the car, they shot him without saying anything.' 

Mr Ali said that 'no words were exchanged' between Mr Rehman and any of the people who shot him. 

He added: 'Five minutes up the road they basically killed her (Uzma Naurin) as well. She wasn't found until quite a bit of time later. 

'Probably about three or four hours later, she was found, as they had basically put her in the shrubs somewhere, just on the side of the road
