A woman murdered her own sister after sleeping with her husband and paying a witch doctor more than £5,000 to cast a spell on her.
Playing the role of the grieving sister, Sabah Khan spun a web of deceit after her sister Saima was found dead in her Luton home, having suffered multiple traumatic injuries, including 68 stab wounds.
Police at first thought it was a burglary gone wrong but soon uncovered the shocking story of a complex love triangle between one husband and two sisters.
New documentary series The Lady Killers reveals how Sabah, driven by rage and jealously, looked into multiple methods of how to see to her sister’s death.
She googled how to buy poison, venomous snakes and even paid £5,000 for a Witch Doctor to put a spell on her sister.

The Khan family lived what many would describe as a classic Islamic life: three generations of the same family living under one roof, caring for and supporting each other.
But over a four-year period, right under her sister’s nose, Sabah Khan was having an affair with Saima’s husband, Hafeez Rehman.
Former detective Peter Bleksley said: "She was infatuated with Hafeez, her sister’s husband.
"She wanted him to be entirely her own and she would stop of nothing to try and achieve that."
As Jo Sidhu, Sabah’s defence barrister, says in the documentary, Hafeez began exploring his options, and even inquired as to whether marrying his sister-in-law would be permissible in Islam.
“He’d even made inquiries with the local Imam at the mosque as to whether he might be able to take Sabah as a second wife.
"He was told that wouldn’t be allowed in Islam to marry two sisters,” he said.
With her options wearing thin, Sabah turned to murder.
“She’d searched for venomous snakes and poison, so it was clear that she had looked into how to kill her sister for some time,” author and former Detective Clare Mackintosh revealed.
It was online that Sabah came across a Pakistani Witch Doctor, or ‘fixer,’ to see to her sister’s demise for the cost of £5,000.
“There had been texts between Sabah and someone in Pakistan who practiced black magic,” Jo Sidhu added.
“A person she’d appealed to and paid money to put a spell on her sister to bring about her early death.”
Having seen her investment fail, Sabah concluded that she herself would have to do the killing.
Luring Saima back from work to the family home, Sabah viciously attacked her sister with a knife she’d purchased from a local supermarket, stabbing her 68 times.
Mr Sidhu added: "When the police attended, they found a scene of carnage in the hallway
“It was literally a blood bath. Her sister’s body was mutilated.”
In 2017, Sabah Khan pleaded guilty to her sister’s murder, and was sentenced to life with a minimum term of 22 years.
