His father, Shabbar Abbas, and mother, Nazia Shaheen, were condemned to life in jail for the murder of Saman Abbas, an 18-year-old Pakistani national who went missing on May 1, 2021 in Novellara, Reggio Emilia. On November 19, 2022, the body was discovered inside an old abandoned farmhouse not far from the Abbas family home. The girl was murdered because she refused to participate in an arranged marriage with a cousin in Pakistan. The uncle received a 14-year term, while the cousins were acquitted. The father was deported to Italy for trial, while the mother remains at large, most likely in Pakistan.
