What's Honor Got To Do With It: 2

For part 1, click here.

Today, the Guardian reports that Italian police were searching for the third suspect.
Furthermore:
Investigators said they were looking into the theory that the grave was dug before the woman was killed. It is thought a long kitchen knife was used to slit her throat.


That appears to be a reasonable thought: considering that they most likely planned this brutal murder on their daughter / cousin far before they actually committed this terrible crime.

The Milan daily Corriere della Sera reported that the victim's father had applied for Italian citizenship two months ago. Applicants must convince authorities that they also embrace "fundamental" rights, including the right of a woman "to choose her own life", said the interior minister, Giuliano Amato.


Well, obviously he failed that test, no?

It's a tragic story. I cannot comprehend how a father can so cruelly murder his own child…for what sake?

Unfortunately this story is not unique. Recently there has been a similar case in the UK, where a young woman was stabbed repeatedly by her brother and cousin, while the rest of the family looked on.

I hope the thug (he doesn’t deserve being called a father) is locked away till he slowly rots to death. I hope they force-feed him pork too.
