Girl buried alive in honour killing in Turkey: Report

A 16-year-old girl was buried alive by relatives in southeast Turkey in a gruesome honour killing just because she reportedly befriended boys, the Anatolia news agency reported Thursday.

A subsequent post mortem revealed that she had a significant amount of soil in her lungs and stomach, meaning that she was buried alive, foresic experts told the agency.

“The autopsy result is blood-curdling. According to our findings, the girl—who had no bruises on her body and no sign of narcotics or poison in her blood—was alive and fully conscious when she was buried,” one anonymous expert said.

Cultural differences…just cultural differences, right?

Laurel,

My idea of an honor killing is killing the man who behaved in a dishonorable way towards someone’s daughter not killing one’s own child. At least that is the way Europeans thought in the past. You know “Don’t touch my daughter or get blasted with a shotgun.”

Which, of course, led to the term “shotgun wedding.”
