The Aarushi Talwar Murder Case

Indian-born liver surgeon Mr Agrawal, 43, worked at both the Royal Blackburn and Burnley General Hospitals. He was sent home on full pay in 2011 after he spoke out alleged dangerous working practices at his hospital. During his suspension, he contacted Labour MP Lucy Powell and Tory Sir Peter Bottomley. On 2 June 2015, Sir Peter raised Mr Agrawal’s case in the House of Commons. East Lancashire Hospitals Trust sacked Mr Agrawal on 9 July 2015. The Trust stated the reason for the dismissal is his professional relationship with his medical colleagues had broken down before his suspension. He had been suspended from his £70,000-plus-a-year consultant’s post for about four years.

The major theme of Indian Killer is atonement through violence. This is the reason for

In a criminal investigation, there is the need to break down two things. Firstly, the investigation itself and secondly the investigator involved. It is of utmost importance that the criminal investigation is done accurately, failure to do so will have negative consequences on the society. Investigation involves the collection of facts, scenarios and situations which are directly or indirectly related with the case. Whereas investigator is the person who should observe, question, analyze and scrutinize the available details. Careful evaluation then helps to achieve the much needed evidence. Criminal investigation is one of the most essential functions of the Law Enforcement agencies, as it is their prime responsibility to maintain a secure environment and

To the untrained eye 129 Spring Street, New York City, looks like your average building, one that's held dozens of businesses over the years and somehow seems to still remain busy; however, locals know a much darker story dating back over 200 years.

That is why it is important to have an ethnocentric view of Honor Killings so that actions can be taken to stop it. Although Honor Killings are part of the Muslim tradition and culture, it does not mean that they should be accepted as just. As the world progresses and evolves, cultures and traditions must evolve with it; what has been seen as acceptable in the past, is no longer accepted by many cultures throughout the world. Viewing Honor Killings through a cultural relativist position could be detrimental to the women living under these conditions. Thousands of lives could be saved and these women could be given further opportunities to achieve the life they wish to live if people view Honor Killings as

I disagree with this argument in “Her Father shot her in the head , As a Honor Killing” Nicholas Kristof says that there is. AS he tells a story about how a woman named Saba who survived a murder from her own father. Her father said that he tried to regain honor back that she had taken from the family. I disagree from what he is saying because this is one of the only times we hear about these things. I do think it is a problem but not a nation problem that people have to deal with on a daily basis.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali speaks of honor killings and forced marriages in Middle Eastern society in the The AHA Foundation 2nd Annual Conference. She begins with describing her personal situation when she was younger; her arranged marriage to a relative and then her escape to the Netherlands at the age of twenty-two in an effort to avoid this marriage where she was met with an entirely different culture where the pressure of the honor of the family was not forced upon females by both female and male parties within the family. She noted how Dutch women wore what they pleased, failed to have rigid curfews, had romantic relationships as they desired, and did not have to obey their male guardians in every aspect contrary to the adamant regulations imposed on women in the Middle Eastern society she grew up in. She describes how the difference between regular domestic abuse and honor violence is that honor violence is justified by the perpetrator by their culture and religion; they claim they have no other choice because the woman in question defiled the families honor and there was no other option available other than to kill her for the sake of honor. When a woman born in this culture begins to defy her family, the family will either commit an honor killing, or marry the girl off, Ali states. When honor killings are performed they are almost always made to look accidental, and can range from shootings, stranglings, drownings or even beheadings when a point is to be made to other

In America, there is a judicial system that helps justice prevail, to punish criminals, and let the innocent walk. The judicial system allows for there to be a trial where evidence is presented. Through the evidence presented, the jury then decides if the person on trial is innocent or guilty. Never in any trial, in any courthouse, under any judge would it be allowed for a murder to be justified so that one could restore a relative’s honor. However, this is not true in the location of Chronicle of a Death Foretold, as the Vicario twins were found innocent due to “legitimate case of honor, which was by the court upheld in good faith” (Marquez 48). The reason that this honor is upheld is

Would you be willing to kill someone to restore your family's honor? Angela, a beautiful-young girl, is forced to marry a macho man named Beyardo. Unfortunately, their wedding does not end in a happily ever after. Angela is returned to her family due to the loss of her virginity prior to the wedding. Within this society, women must be virgins before marriage. Beyardo and Angela are unable to consummate the marriage due to Angela's lack of innocence. In order for the family to restore their honor, Angela's brothers must kill the horrendous man who is said to have taken her virginity. Angela is treated poorly for most of her life, similar to other women who also live within this society. In Chronicles of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez,

Some people believe that an individual’s cultural background and family beliefs explain motives behind honor killings.

One of the first situations she learned about was two sisters who were murdered by their brother. The two sisters were rumored to have been killed because of their large inheritance, while others believed it was because one got married to a man without the family's knowledge. Because of Article 98 and his mother dropping the charges, he had a ridiculously short jail sentence for the crime he committed. Article 98 states “...that any person who commits a crime in a fit of fury caused by an unlawful or dangerous act on the part of the victim benefits from a reduction in penalty” (The Jordan Times). Most of the time, family murderers will receive a reduction in sentence because the charges are dropped, usually because the third member helped to plan the killing or at least gave approval. As a result, the average sentence for these types of killings are about 10-20 years. These crimes can be committed for different reasons, even just out of suspicion. Thousands of women are killed based on rumors, lies, and suspicions just so the family honor can be preserved. Some women are killed after being raped because they are “no longer intact” (Husseini 101), making them impure and destroying the family honor. Another horrific article, Article 308 (not talked about in Husseini’s book), “allows

The particularistic/individualistic view explains honor killings in psychological, rather than cultural terms. Many community leaders believe that the murderer was insane or mentally ill, and committed the crime in the “heat of passion”. For example, these people believe that men who attack others have been sufficiently provoked. Therefore, they should be excused from extreme behavior such as “beating, maiming, burning, and killing” others. Heat-of-passion defenses describe that these men, mostly husbands, were acting “in a state of high emotional distress” and are less guilty than if they acted for economic or premeditated reasons. There are people who believe that theses murderers have a sickening mindset, along with the idea that men involved in killings are not in a normal state of mind. To feel proud by taking someone’s life and not showing any remorse is abnormal behavior. Thus, this type of behavior can be explained by psychopathy, mental illnesses associated with criminals.

Honor killings are a family collaboration (Chesler2010). Worldwide, two-thirds of the victims were killed families of origin. Murder by the family of origin was at its highest (72percent) in the Muslim world and at its lowest in North America (49). European families of origin were involved almost as often as those in the Muslim world, possibly
