Student kills sister for ‘honour’
2004-03-21
A seminary student killed his sister with a hatchet because he suspected her of having an affair in Kabirwala on Friday. Ghulam Mohiuddin, 20, a student of Rizvia Shamsul Aloom, of which his father is the principal, repeatedly hit his sister Sakina Mai, 25, with a hatchet when she was washing dishes. Mr Mohiuddin suspected Ms Sakina of having an affair with a young man. Police arrested Mr Mohiuddin who confessed his crime. “I am neither ashamed nor afraid of the punishment because I killed my sister for a noble cause. I belong to a religious family which is highly reputed in the area and this had to be done to maintain our status,” Mr Mohiuddin told reporters while in police custody.
"Only families of the highest level of fanaticism and viciousness can achieve the status our family has. We are a model for the rest of Pakistan cuz we're so holy. We're much holier than thou. More vicious, too."

#5  I'll bet he was studying to be a "holy man", right?

Don't you just hate it when the dishes are almost all washed and then someone splatters blood all over them in an honor killing?

#3  He would have got her sooner, but he didn't want to sort the laundry himself.

#2  He attacked her from behind whilst she was washing dishes.

What could be more manly than that?

#1  Chivalry certainly developed quite differently in Ummah. Wouldn't it be more manly to stage a duel with someone who slights you family honor?
