Many times these crimes go unsolved.
Well, justice was served in England yesterday in this case.
From Britain's Times:
A Father who ordered his two teenage sons to carry out the so-called honour killing of an Oxford student who made his daughter pregnant was told yesterday that he must serve a minimum of 20 years in jail.
A High Court judge told Chomir Ali, 44, that there was “no honour in murder”.
The body of Arash Ghorbani-Zarin, a 19-year-old electrical engineering student, was found with 46 stab wounds after he was ambushed in his car in November last year.
Mr Justice Goss described it as a cold-blooded killing, adding that “the sooner the term honour killings are seen for the grotesque misnomer they are, the better”. He told Ali, a Bangladeshi-born waiter: “Far from vindicating your family’s honour you have permanently dishonoured your family with the stain of murder.”
