Why Honor-Kill Your Sister AND Have Child Porn on Your Phone?

Why Honor-Kill Your Sister AND Have Child Porn on Your Phone?

Two brutal honor killings of Syrian women took place recently, one in Lebanon, and one in Germany.

On September 3 the trial of two Syrian brothers charged with killing their pregnant sister began in a regional court in Hessen, Germany.

Mustafa, 22, admitted stabbing his sister Ramia, 30, 15 times in the chest and neck. Both her and her unborn child were killed.

He claimed she had dishonored the family.

The older brother, Muhammed, 26, is charged with failing to act to save his sister who was still alive initially after the assault.

Police arrested the two brothers hours after the incident. They also found child pornography on the cellphone of the older brother Muhammed.

He will be charged about the child pornography separately.

Ramia’s husband had threatened her with divorce because he was told she had a romantic affair with a man living in Egypt. She sent him dozens of sexually explicit video clips and her brothers found out about this story.

They beat her husband and their sister in an apartment in the city of Hanau, most famous for being the birthplace of the Brothers Grimm.

Muhammed is also charged with beating his sister and her husband.

Meanwhile, a young woman was stabbed to death in an honor killing by two of her brothers in the southern Lebanese city of Tyre on Friday. They stabbed her with two knives “like a goat.” With one knife they slit her throat, and with the second knife they stabbed her in the stomach 11 or 12 times.

“At 1.30 AM on September 5 two brothers, Ahmad el-Muhammed and Ibrahim el-Muhammed entered a flat and killed Rawah (16)” the Lebanese Internal Security Forces said in a statement. The family is Syrian.

“The sister left their family home around ten days ago without their knowledge in order to marry a Syrian man with whom she had romantic relations. Later on, there was an agreement between the two families that the girl would return to her family home and the wedding would take place on Monday. A sum of money was paid as a mahr (bride-price). Yet the two brothers committed a crime they had planned earlier. As a result they were arrested along with several co-conspirators. In the investigation they admitted to committing the crime with the blessing of their family.”

They murdered her while she was sleeping. Her parents, brothers and cousins all agreed on the need to carry out the honor killing. Her brothers said they simply did it to guard the honor of the family.

After the murder all of the family sat together and drank tea.
