The brutal murder of a 30-year-old woman by her father in a so-called "honour killing" has put the issue of violence against women in Jordan under the spotlight, reigniting public fury and calls for action. The murder of the woman, identified as Ahlam, took place two weeks ago, but it was only when an audio recording of her screaming and images of her lifeless body in the street went viral on social media that her father was arrested. Ahlam's neighbours say they heard screams at 9pm on the day of her death and saw her running into the street with her neck bleeding, pleading with people for help because her family wanted to kill her. No one intervened as her father came running behind her with a brick and bludgeoned her to death, before sitting down, lighting a cigarette and drinking a cup of tea.
