File under barbarians.

A 27 year old man has reportedly shot his older sister in a so called "honour killing" after he saw a picture of her on a friends mobile phone screen, according to Cellular News.

"The man told police he shot and killed his sister to cleanse his family's honour because he saw her photo on his friend's mobile," the source told The Jordan Times.

This is the 5th person killed in an honour crime in Jordan this year".
