At Birmingham Crown Court, Bibi and her ex-husband Gul Nawaz and their son Kashim Nawaz were given life sentences.
Zatoon Bibi Wikipedia – Murder
Zatoon Bibi, 37, asked her ex-husband Gul Nawaz, 44, for aid in murdering Tanveer Iqbal on January 31, 2016, the day after his 33rd birthday.
According to the court, Zatoon Bibi lured the unknowing music producer to her home with the promise of birthday cake before strangling him to death with Nawaz.
She then placed his body in a widescreen TV box in the boot of his car, which she sealed with silver gaffer tape and blue nylon wire.

Nawaz and Bibi had split a few years before after Nawaz discovered photos of Bibi, Tanveer, and their shared kid on vacation to London.
To keep their dignity, they lived together and claimed to be a couple.
Mr. Iqbal was discovered in a Renault Clio in Edgbaston, Birmingham, on February 1, 2016, after his wife, Nasreen Bibi, reported him missing. A Home Office pathologist diagnosed his death as compression of the neck, implying that a ligature similar to the wire was employed.
The couple was emotionless as the judge sentenced them to life in prison, with a minimum of 27 and 25 years behind bars, respectively.
Gul Nawaz Wife Case Update
Zatoon Bibi of Birmingham killed her estranged partner Tanveer Iqbal in January 2016 with the assistance of her husband, Gul Nawaz, and son Kashim because she blamed him for the breakup.
Attorney claims that a teen convicted of murder after assisting his parents in the murder of Kashim’s mother’s lover was manipulated by his mother.
“What is particularly horrible is that you recruited your son to the company,” Judge Mark Wall QC said Bibi as he handed down her sentence.
In this case, the murder weapon – the rope – was purchased specifically for the aim of murdering Tanveer Iqbal. It was purchased just hours before the murder.
During the six-week trial, Bibi and Nawaz were accused of strangling Tanveer to death at his ex-home lover’s in Bartley Green, Birmingham.
According to the court, the victim and his wife and lover had an unusual and problematic home relationship. Tanveer’s wife Nasreen would even receive explicit photos of Bibi performing various activities on her.
Prosecutor Sally Howes QC claimed both women were well aware of each other’s relationship with Tanveer and spoke on the phone frequently, even referring to one other as sisters.
