The parents of a British woman found stabbed to death on a house boat hotel in Kashmir said they begged her not to travel to the area.

Speaking at a press conference in Guernsey, Miss Groves' father said she had decided to travel to Kashmir after meeting a man called Samir and arranging to stay with his family. Victor Groves said he had been concerned his daughter was changing her original plans. He said:
