Amman: A women was brutally murdered in an apparently honour killing in Jordan, here on Sunday.
Police said that they found the burned body of a pregnant woman whose throat had been slit and belly cut open showing her four-month-old fetus.
“We found the body of the woman at dawn in Ruseifeh (east of Amman). Her throat was slit in a hideous way. The body was burned after the murder,” a police spokesman said.
“We believe it was an honor crime. The belly of the woman, who was in her twenties, was cut open and we could see her four-month-old unborn child, who was dead too. Investigations are still under way.”
Between 15 and 20 women die in so-called “honor” murders each year in the Arab kingdom, despite government efforts to curb such crimes.
