      <title>Two Afghan brothers charged with murdering sister in Germany for her 'western' way of life
</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30274847/</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Two brothers from Afghanistan are accused in Germany of killing their sister, claiming that they wanted to punish her for her "western" way of life reported a British tabloid on Tuesday.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to a report published in &lt;a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10349817/Two-Afghan-brothers-charged-Germany-murdering-sister-Western-way-life.html?ito=social-twitter_mailonline"&gt;Daily Mail&lt;/a&gt; the two men were accused of allegedly luring their sister, Maryam H, to a meeting in Berlin in July before choking and strangling her and slitting her throat.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Due to Germany’s strict privacy regulations, the men have been identified only as Sayed H., 26, and Seyed H., 22.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Prosecutors say the brothers dismembered their 34-year-old sister, who was a mother-of-two,  and then took a taxi to a train station later that day with her body in a suitcase, the report said. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the security camera footage provided by the German media,  Sayed and Seyed can be seen putting the black bag on the train in Berlin.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The brothers are accused of travelling to Bavaria by train before driving to a wooded area close to Sayed’s home near Holzkirchen, where they are accused of burying Maryam’s body in a shallow grave.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to a &lt;a href="https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/germany-2-men-charged-in-killing-of-their-sister-1.5720945"&gt;story&lt;/a&gt; filed by Associated Press, the indictment states the brothers wanted to punish Maryam "for her Western-oriented way of life, which did not correspond to their archaic ideas of honor and morals and their image of women," prosecutors said in a statement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They added that the brothers weren't prepared to accept Maryam had divorced her husband, to whom she was married when she was 16, after violent incidents and had a new relationship.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The two brothers have been in custody since Aug. 3, and are expected to be sentenced to life in prison if convicted of first-degree murder.&lt;/p&gt;
