3 brothers kill sister for going out with fiancé

Three Jordanian brothers stabbed their sister many times before one of them slit her throat for going out with her fiancé in the Arab country.

Newspapers said the three brothers phoned their sister and asked her to come home so they will all go to her fiancé’s family and finalise marriage arrangements.

When she came home, they forced her into their room, locked the door and stabbed her many times before one of them grabbed her neck and slit her throat.

A criminal court in the capital Amman sentenced the brother who slit her throat to death but reduced it later to 15 years in prison after the girl’s parents dropped the case. The other two brothers were also sentenced to15 years in jail.

Jordan has one of the highest rates of honour crimes in the Arab World, with an average 25 such crimes taking place in the kingdom.
