Here's the latest example.
A 26-YEAR-old Jordanian man was charged with murder today after his 23-year-old sister was shot dead in an apparent "honour" killing.
The unnamed suspect allegedly shot his sister six times last night in the Nqeira area south of the capital Amman, a security official said.
"He turned himself in and confessed to murdering his sister to cleanse his family's honour because she disappeared from home for four months with a man," the official said.
"He killed her the moment she returned home last night. But forensic tests showed that the girl was a virgin."
It was the eighth reported so-called honour killing this year, according to Jordanian authorities which in 2007 recorded 17 such murders - a slight rise on previous years.
