Palestinians charge 3 relatives with murder in woman's death

None

The Palestinian attorney general says three people, all relatives, are being charged in the death of a 21-year-old woman in a suspected honor killing.

 

Israa Ghrayeb, a makeup artist from a village near Bethlehem, died last month after being hospitalized with severe wounds. Friends and women's rights activists suspect her male relatives assaulted her over a video shared online that purportedly showed her out with a man who had proposed to her.

 

Attorney General Akram al-Khatib on Thursday said three of Ghrayeb's relatives will be charged but ruled out honor killing as a motive.
