West Bank: " I would do it again", says honor killer

Her 23-year-old sister was engaged to marry a Muslim but had an affair with a Christian. Khaled phoned a number she had noted down to discover it was a clinic for restoring women's virginity through surgery. So he "went mad, beat her and smashed her head against the wall". He spent only 6 days in jail and was never charged
"I don't say that I wish I hadn't killed her, but I say I wish she hadn't done that," he said.
"I am really sorry for what happened, but I think even if I'm in the same situation now after this experience and she does the same thing, I would kill her again."
"It wasn't my fault, and I haven't done anything wrong," he said.
"I overreacted but I don't think that it makes me deserve jail for a long time."
