In a heart-wrenching crime, an Iraqi young man coldly killed his sister by shooting her three times and then fled the scene. A video that rapidly spread across social media in recent hours showed the moment the young man lured his sister, using his motorcycle, to a neighborhood in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, before unleashing a barrage of bullets at her. While the young man escaped, local media reported that authorities are searching for him, noting that the motives behind the incident could be related to "honor claims."
It is worth mentioning that Iraq has recorded alarming increases in crime rates since the beginning of this year, including horrific crimes even within families. The rapid rise in crime statistics reflects the security, economic, and social conditions created by the political and economic circumstances in the country. This situation has led to moral and psychological transformations that threaten the cohesion and unity of Iraqi society, according to social specialists.
