    Dutch court convicts four men for brutal ‘honour killing’

    THE HAGUE (AFP) – A Dutch court yesterday sentenced four men to 25 years for the “honour killing” of a woman stabbed to death in broad daylight in front of her three-year-old daughter. The 28-year-old Roshin was stabbed 28 times by her elder brother as she walked with her daughter in the eastern Dutch city of Apeldoorn in September 2023.

    Alongside the 25-year sentence for the elder brother, identified as 36-year-old Peshang A, the court also sentenced another brother and two cousins for their part. “The audio and chat messages that the men sent to each other show that they decided together that the victim had to die, because she violated the family’s honour,” said the court.
