I found this "honour killing" story in today's Observer absolutely chilling?

[Tinker]

story here

Astonishingly, he said, police congratulated him on what he had done. 'They are men and know what honour is,' he said.

Oh I read that too, Tink and it was horrible. Worse still that he is free and his wife is in hiding.

Did you read the article about Yemeni women too? That was a pretty awful read.

Not read the Yemeni story yet but was looking at the photo of them "choosing", yet another, disguising outfit from the market

I just felt helpless and thought where do you start to convince/persuade people that what he's done is wrong, completely wrong. She was lovely as well

Reading that has made me feel sick .That poor poor girl .

Bastard

it's a human rights abuse. disgusting.

I read both the articles. So saddened. Makes me feel guilty for all my silly, petty woes.

What a tragic loss

Yay for woman-hating

Can anyone post a link to the other article?

Have you got a link to the Yemeni women story?

When I read things about 'honour' killings my DD's face always pops into my head

vile story - was very shocked

yemen story here

that is so far beyond chilling and disgusting it's hard to believe it is real, though it is.

as the mother of two daughters, i cannot comprehend a world in which this is considered permissable.

i hope Rand is in a much, much better place.

I read both stories The fact the brothers joined in when the mother called them to help Rand(the dd) disturbed me more. I could perhaps excuse the father as mad up til then. She had a crush on this soldier than was thought to be unreciprocated but she died because she had been seen talking to him

I read this I am speechlesswith admiration for the mother for leaving her daughter's murderer at great risk to her own safety

Oh my god! i can't believe that father has no remorse at all, it's truly sickening.
