A real beating.

The young woman, admitted to the emergency room last week, bore traces all over her body and was in a state of shock, reports the newspaper

The older brother had reproached his sister for the way she dressed, and had not liked seeing her get into a man's car, with a friend.

The man, with a clean criminal record, notably used a belt and a pillow to try to suffocate the young woman.

He was finally sentenced to two years in prison, including ten months closed, with continued detention, says

He was also banned from going to the victim's home and coming into contact with her.
