Jordanian boy murders sister for 'honour'.
The 23 y.o. sister had a boyfriend. The 16 y.o. brother didn't like it. He stabbed her in the heart ten times.
Hey, it's only murder, ...but she had a boyfriend.
In 2007, Jordanian authorities recorded 17 such murders, slightly up on previous years.
Killers in such cases, however, often receive light sentences if convicted, as the parliament has twice refused to reform the penal code despite pressure from human rights groups to end the near impunity of the perpetrators.
