| UK: Teenager is 'first' white victim of honour killing | |
| 2012-03-25 | |
| Laura Wilson, 17, was repeatedly knifed in the head by her Asian boyfriend Ashtiaq Ashgar on a secluded tow path after their relationship turned sour. Her mother, who has never spoken publicly before, believes her daughter was murdered because she challenged the code of ethics which some ethnic communities still follow.

| #7 Lets see. Boy kills girl when relationship turns sour - and this is reported as a first in England? Thats been going on since man walked on two feet. But for historical purposes -lets just go with Henry the VIII. What IS the point of this label "honour killing" unless its mere hype for journalists. I feel for the family, but it is what it is - murder - why glorify it or in somewhat give it some twisted flash and bang. |

| #3 Look at the bright side, multiculturalism brought us some new spices and entrees. |

| #2 Certainly no guarantee that they might not turn on you at some future date, but a method used quite successfully here appears to be reparenting at an early age along with the expungement of records which would indicate a Muslim birth. |
