Girl whose brother struck her 15 times with an axe in attempted 'honour killing' says she wishes she had died that day

A 17-year-old girl whose brother tried to murder her in an 'honour killing' said she wishes she had died after surviving an axe attack, disowned by her family for escaping a forced marriage. At the age of 12, Gul Meena was married off to a 60-year-old man instead of being sent to school in Pakistan. Every day he would hit her. She would beg him to stop but he carried on, ignoring her tears.
