ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Amman - Jordanian police are questioning a man who claimed he stabbed his sister to death in a so-called "honour crime", the second such killing in a week, the Jordan Times reported on Friday.
The body of the victim, a divorced woman of 25, was found on Wednesday with multiple stab wounds in a deserted area west of the capital Amman. Her hands were bound and she had a gag round her mouth, the newspaper said, quoting official sources.
Her brother turned himself in to the police on Thursday "claiming that he killed his sister because she was involved in immoral relationships," one official told the newspaper.
It was the second such killing in a week.
At least 19 women lost their lives in "honour killings" in the conservative Muslim kingdom last year, according to the Jordan Times.
Typically the killers go unpunished or get reduced sentences, often with little or no jail term."
