Access case adjourned

Date published: 18 March 2013


A Rochdale man jailed after abducting his daughter and taking her to Pakistan for three years has appeared at a family court to ask for access to the child.

Former insurance salesman Razwan Ali Anjum (29) wants the High Court to allow him access to Atiya Anjum–Wilkinson (6) — who was found in Pakistan by police in December, more than three years after being taken from her mother.

Anjum, who was released from custody on 1 March, appeared at Liverpool’s Civil and Family Court this morning before Mr Justice Peter Jackson, who adjourned the case until 8 July for a psychological assessment of the child.
