Honour killing story: Inana

Honour killing story

Inana
born: 1983, 1981
Attempted murder: 10 May 2018
Place of residence: Duisburg / Essen
Origin: Perpetrator: Iraq / Syria
Children: unclear
Perpetrator: her ex-boyfriend and a young Syrian (at act 50 y., 21 y.)
The manner of this murder attempt is unusual for honor killings. "Normally" a knife is used, like in a ritual slaughter. "Normally" the murder is publicly staged.

But not this one. On 10 May 2018 Inana will be driving on the motorway in the morning. She notices that her braking system is not working, calls the police, lets the car roll out and controls it against a tarpaulin. She is only slightly injured.

The police find that the brake hose has been tampered with. They arrest Inanan's ex-boyfriend in his apartment in Wuppertal. He is joined by a young Syrian who confesses to the crime and incriminates the Iraqi. The constellation might suggest the suspicion that it is a Kurdish family. Inana is not the woman's real name.
