Tanveer Iqbal death: Three in court charged with murder of music shop boss whose body was found in car boot

Unemployed Zatoon Bibi, aged 36, wept in the dock as she appeared before Birmingham Crown Court today alongside 44-year-old Gul Nawaz and a 16-year-old male. All three are charged with murdering music shop manager Tanveer Iqbal.

Also in court was a 17-year-old female, charged with perverting the course of justice. She and the teenage male cannot be named for legal reasons.

The female teenager was bailed pending further investigation while the three other defendants were remanded in custody.

The case was adjourned so that CCTV and telephone records could be provided to the court prior to the trial on August 1.

Mr Iqbal, 33, was found dead in the boot of his Renault Clio in Portland Road, Edgbaston, on February 1. Officers have yet to reveal how Mr Iqbal, who ran Hi-Tech music on Shireland Road, died.

The court appearance is the second for Bibi who appeared at Birmingham Magistrates on Wednesday, February 10.

Det Insp Paul Joyce, who is leading on the investigation, said at the magistrates court: "Investigations into the death are ongoing; we are still appealing for anyone with information that will assist our enquiries to get in touch.

"I am particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have seen Mr Iqbal between closing his shop, Hi-Tech Music in Shireland Road, Smethwick on Sunday, January 31 and the time he was discovered on Monday, February 1.

"I also want to speak to anyone who had any contact with Mr Iqbal on January 31."

Police are asking for anyone with information to contact them on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
