Germany: Kurdish woman killed by her brother in "honor killing"

Honor killings continue to increase in the West, because no Western officials have the vision or courage needed to confront the Islamic communities in their country and tell them to teach against the attitudes and assumptions that give rise to this sort of thing, or face deportation. "German police accuse Kurdish men of 'honour killing'" from Deutsche Presse Agentur, April 2

Kleve, Germany - German police charged Thursday that the grisly death of a 20-year-old ethnic Kurdish woman had been an 'honour killing,' and that her brother had confessed to the crime.

Germans have been outraged at a recent series of execution-style honour killings of young women by immigrant families.

The murder of Gulsum S, 20, on a lonely country road one month ago had been made to look as it were a robbery, said police in Kleve, near the Dutch border, as they announced the arrest and remand in custody of the victim's brother, 20, and father.

Prosecutors said Gulsum was lured by a false story to the side road near the small town of Rees on March 2. Her sibling, who was also a triplet to Gulsum, allegedly choked her unconscious with a clothes line. She was then clubbed to death.

The brother admitted to the killing, but the father denied the charge of joint murder, police said.

Police said the family had attempted to force Gulsum into a planned marriage and then discovered she was not a virgin and had undergone one or more abortions....

So they killed her for the families honor.
