JORDAN MAN GETS REDUCED SENTENCE FOR KILLING RAPED NIECE

a Jordanian man, Jamil, 41, was sentenced to death for killing his 16-year-old niece Abir, who had been raped, in order to "cleanse" the family's honour. However, the sentence was commuted to 10 years in jail. "The victim's family has urged the court to reduce the sentence, and it was commuted to 10 years in prison," a criminal court official said.
