A man has been charged with the murder of a 20-year-old woman whose father was earlier jailed for life for the crime.
Unemployed Amir Abbass, 22, of no fixed address, is accused of killing Banaz Mahmod and assisting an offender.
The body of Miss Mahmod, of Mitcham, south London, was found buried in a suitcase in Birmingham in April 2006 after a so-called "honour killing".
Mr Abbass is due to appear before Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court, south London, on Saturday.
In July this year, the victim's father Mahmod Mahmod, 52, and his brother Ari Mahmod, 52, of Mitcham, were jailed for at least 20 and 23 years for the murder.
A third man, Mohamad Hama, 31, from South Norwood, south London, was sentenced to a minimum of 17 years for his involvement.
