When I hear about something like this, my first thought is always “I wonder how many other women–quiet women without fame, unknown to others except their immediate circle of family and friends–this has happened to.”

Very sad, I hope the world wakes up soon and starts to really make it know that this type of barbaric behaviour will not be tolerated.

Too many — one is too many. Anyone who thinks his honor will be saved by this behavior is seriously deluded. And, if you believe in that sort of thing, not destined for a happy afterlife. It’s murder, plain and simple.
