'Tell me how my daughter died'

The father of a woman killed and dumped in the boot of a car sobbed today as he appealed to her boyfriend to hand himself in to police.

Inga Losiene's body was found in the vehicle parked outside a railway station 10 days after she vanished from her home in Southend. Her father, Alexas Chmieliauskas, pleaded with Farik

Farukh to tell how his daughter died.

Detectives believe Mr Farukh, an Iraqi Kurd, may have killed her at her home on 27 May. He disappeared two days later. Police say the death of the 32-year-old mother of two is being treated as murder.

At a press conference today, Mr Chmieliauskas, from Lithuania, said through an interpreter: "I need to know what my daughter was killed for. Her two children, aged 11 and five, are now orphans.

"It is important we are given some answers. People in the community must know what happened."
