Apparent "honor killing" in Gaza

A 35 year old woman was found dead in central Gaza this morning.

Police reported that the girl found hanged but her head was also bashed in with an ax.

Preliminary investigations indicate that her brother was the murderer.

There are usually dozens of so-called "honor killings' every year in Gaza and the West Bank. Most don't get reported in non-Arabic media.
