"He was disgusted and distressed by the letter, which he threw away in his anger," said Peart.
"He did not want to believe what he had read, although he suspected there might be some truth in it. He could not stop brooding on the content of the letter."
Scotland Yard yesterday said there had been 12 "honor killings" across different communities in the last year in Britain.
Police define an honor killing as a murder motivated by perceived dishonor to a family or community and stress that it is not limited to Islamic communities. There have been examples of Sikh and Christian honour killings.
Commander Andy Baker said Heshu had suffered "very significant physical abuse" in the months leading up to the killing, but it was never reported to police.
The issue of honor killings is being researched by the Metropolitan police racial and violent crimes task force and Baker said many communities were helping police understand the practice.
