Life for ‘honour killing’ father

I came upon this link in the BBC. It shocked me to the core mainly because I am so out of tune with the people who perpetrated the crime of killing a woman in what has been loosely termed ‘honor killing.

Her crime: she had a boyfriend.

She had gone to the police to seek help but the police did not take her seriously.

I just want to share this link with you.

    it seems that the killer himself was given a shorter sentence than the other 2 perpetrators. in malaysia, where a death penalty can be imposed, i would assume that all 3 would face a similar fate - death.

    i just wonder what the outcome of the altantuya murder trial will be. will the 2 police personnel get death & the mastermind get away scot-free??
