Man kills sister for speaking on phone with a man

A Jordanian man used a big rock to kill his teen age sister after he caught her speaking to another man by the phone, newspapers reported on Wednesday.

The man, in his 20s, asked his 16-year-old sister to walk out with him near their house in North Jordan but she knew his intention and ran away, they said.

He then threw a rock at her, causing her to fall, before chasing her and hitting her head with the rock many times, leading to her death.

The report said a Jordanian court had sentenced the killer to 20 years in jail but reduced it to 10 years after he was pardoned by his family.
