Anger as 'honour killing' family try to adopt victim's son
Telegraph ^ | 19/04/2006 | Hannah Cleaver

The family of an ethnic Turkish German woman executed by her brother in an "honour killing" has sparked outrage by applying for custody of her young son.

A German family court will decide the future of the six-year-old son of Hatun Surucu, but politicians of all parties have called for the boy, currently with a foster family, not to be handed over to his dead mother's sister.

Miss Surucu, 23, was murdered in Berlin last February by her younger brother who shot her three times in the head in what the trial judge said was "an ice-cold execution-style murder - just because she lived her life."

Miss Surucu had been forced to marry a cousin in Turkey when she was 15. Later, she returned pregnant to Berlin, where she had been born, along with her nine brothers and sisters.

There she stopped wearing a headscarf, started training as an electrician and lived alone with her son, Can. She had relationships with men, including Germans, and wore make-up as well as going dancing, a lifestyle her Muslim family could not accept.

Her 20-year-old brother Ayhan Surucu admitted committing the murder when aged 18, and was sentenced to nine years and three months last week.

          We know the definition for the Yiddish word chutzpah is the child who, after killing his parents, throws himself on the mercy of the courts on the grounds that he's an orphan.

          I wonder what the Turkish equivalent is. We have the definition now.

The Turkish word might be gözüpek.

Its easy, they didn't want the child to be raised by a heretic, they want the child to be brought up as a good muslim.

No, they want to kill the child as weel because he is 'unclean', and they know thw government ther emay be STUPID enough to grant them custody.
