Mother of Iraqi girl killed by her father because she liked a British soldier has also been killed

[WendyWeber]

OMG

You read what the father did to the girl and admire the mother so much for denouncing him - why was she not protected from this?

Oh god, this is awful. The daughter's murder was absolutely chilling.

She was such a brave woman.

So she lived her last few weeks in terror.

Weeks.

Why the hell was she not taken out of that situation immediately?

There are some cultures that defy belief with their behaviour. Although I don't believe that we should place our morals on others this goes beyond that. When a woman is disowned by her own sons.

Can the media think of another name for it as there is no honour in honour killings? Plain and simple murder.
