Rana Husseini; 22/9/08
A 33-year-old man was charged on Sunday with the premeditated murder of his cousin in the latest so-called honour murder in the Kingdom, official sources said. The 29-year-old victim, who was not identified by officials, was reportedly shot once in the heart, allegedly by the suspect on Friday night, an official source told The Jordan Times. The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital where attending doctors attempted to save his life, but were unable to do so because the bullet penetrated his heart, the source explained. Meanwhile, the suspect fled to an unknown destination after the shooting and was arrested by the authorities the following day, the source added. In his initial confession to investigators, the suspect said he shot his relative after suspecting that he was “involved in an affair with his divorced sister”
