Broad Daylight "Honor Killing" in Denmark

Here is a report of an honor killing in Denmark that was so brazenly open that a photographer was able to record it. It offers some confirmation to my theory that honor killing stems primarily from jealousy on the part of brothers, who are often the losers of a high-stakes sexual lottery when their sisters choose to marry outside the family. Notable in this incident was the additional shooting of the husband.

Calmly and methodically, big brother stoops over his little sister while shooting one projectile after the other into her. Her spouse, affected by several shots to the abdomen, can only look on helplessly, while his wife is executed by her own family.
