AMMAN - The Jordanian authorities are questioning a 22-year- old man, who allegedly killed his pregnant married sister for reasons related to family honour, the Jordan Times reported Friday, quoting official sources.
The 20-year-old victim, who was not identified by officials, received three fatal bullets to the side of her head, reportedly by her brother, at her in-law's house in western Amman Wednesday night.
The suspect immediately headed to the nearest police station and turned himself in, handing over the gun he used to shoot his sibling to officers on duty.
"The suspect told police he had just killed his sister to cleanse his family's honour," the sources said.
The victim became the fifth person reportedly murdered in a so- called honour crime since the beginning of the year, the paper said.
Last year, a total of 18 people were killed for reasons of "honour" in Jordan, according to official sources.
I would call them filthy animals... but why insult animals?
The Religion of Peace at work again.
Oh Yea, this is the place that Queen Noor told us that was so modern and misunderstood by the evil old United States.Yeaa right......
How sick is a culture where you save your family’s honor by killing a defenseless, pregnant, woman by placing three shots in her temple.
I'll wait to hear the prosecutorial response.
No, they only use “honor” killings to wipe out the lowly female, never the exhalted muzzie male.
I guess the harpies and spinsters of NOW are ok with all this. You never hear a peep out of them regarding stories of muzzie women getting murdered, executed, beaten or enslaved.
I guess multi-culturalism trumps feminism.
I wonder how our feminists will enjoy life behind a burqha.
Well, so far they’re only questioning him.
That could mean anything.
