20 years in prison for a Jordanian man who killed an Arab girl who refused to marry him

The Grand Criminal Court in Jordan this week closed the curtain on the so-called "Ashrafiya crime" that occurred two years ago, when a young Jordanian man killed an Arab girl living in that area, because she refused to marry him, as the court sentenced him to twenty years in prison.

The criminal had followed the victim’s return from her work to her home, where he stabbed her in the chest, back and neck, which led to her death, then he hid her body, which her family considered “kidnapping and murder.”

The victim's family learned of the crime that was committed against their daughter, when police officers came to the family's home and showed them a video documenting the moment the victim was killed after they found her body.

In a statement to the victim’s father to the “Jordanian Women’s Movement” organization, he stated that the killer had proposed to his daughter and was refused, and he repeated his request more than once, and was constantly rejected, which made him harass the victim more than once while she was going and returning from her work.

This prompted the family of the murdered to file a security complaint, given that the killer's harassment included threats to the victim that amounted to his attempt to kidnap her and beat her on the roads, as he had previously done so and stole her phone, as he once tried to run her over with his car.

Due to the pressures and threats that the victim was subjected to as a result of the complaint filed by her family against the perpetrator, which amounted to her threat to kill a member of her family, she was forced to drop the complaint and drop her right.

After she gave up the complaint, the criminal returned, tracked the return of the treacherous woman from her work, and stabbed her, which led to her death.

The “Women’s Solidarity Institute” association revealed, in a study issued earlier this month, that 6 females were killed last year, outside of family crimes.

She explained that in March of last year, two girls were killed, one of whom did not exceed 17 years, and the other a university student, while in July a person killed a girl in Zarqa Governorate following a dispute between them, and in August a woman was killed in a quarrel between two families. In Amman, after being stabbed in the head with a dagger.

In September of the same year, a woman was killed and burned by a person to hide her body before being arrested, and in November a woman in her fifties was killed by a person after he stabbed her several times, and the crime occurred with intent to steal, according to what was announced by the Public Security Directorate. at that time.
