Sana Cheema was allegedly strangled to death by her father, uncle and brother on April 18, 2018.
Last year in April, police had arrested three suspects, including the victim’s father and brother for their alleged involvement in the crime.
26-year-old Sana Cheema reportedly expressed a desire to marry a man of her choice in Italy, which enraged her family members who wanted to marry her off to their relative.
The infuriated family members murdered her and subsequently, buried her body quietly to hush up the matter, a police official had said.
