To: a fool in paradise

“...was found guilty of participating in an “honor killing” plot — including a plan to kill his own daughter....”

“Although the “honor killings” were to include five victims...”

Are they intentionally being obtuse? It took me a bit to figure out that people had people been killed! (I didn’t open the article - and still not sure that he did kill his own daughter!)

Were there others involved? “Participating in a plot” makes it sound like it. Almost makes it sound like he just drove the car!

This is what Coty’s mom was reported to have said about her son: “That was the day they ambushed and murdered Coty, to restore honor to someone who never had any.”

I’m guessing that this is a foreign news site and things are scrambled due to translation.

Oh - wait. I think I get it now. Honor killings are to restore the honor to the FATHER (and the family?). Seriously - I always thought it was to restore honor to the victim. That it was more honorable for the victim to be dead than to be a Christian.
