This is what Coty’s mom was reported to have said about her son: “That was the day they ambushed and murdered Coty, to restore honor to someone who never had any.”
I’m guessing that this is a foreign news site and things are scrambled due to translation.
Oh - wait. I think I get it now. Honor killings are to restore the honor to the FATHER (and the family?). Seriously - I always thought it was to restore honor to the victim. That it was more honorable for the victim to be dead than to be a Christian.
The Houston Chronicle is pretty foreign, indeed.
