Egyptian farmer hangs and beheads his daughter in honor killing Print E-mail
Sunday, 25 May 2008
Egypt MapAn Egyptian farmer who suspected his 16-year-old daughter was having an affair hanged her and then beheaded her body in the southern province of Bani Soueif, it was reported Sunday

Abdel-Samad, 46, turned himself to the police after the killing. It said a police investigation showed the father suspected his daughter of having the affair, according to local daily Al-Akhbar.
So-called honor killings are not unusual in Egypt and other countries of the Middle East, where families murder female members for having brought 'shame' on their name.
Such killings often involve a female member refusing an arranged marriage or having a relationship that the family considers to be inappropriate.
