Police allege that Ahmed Alasam killed his sister Aisha about three weeks ago, cutting her throat with a knife after an argument over family honor, and then reported himself to the authorities.

The indictment stated that Aisha Alasam, who lived in Taibeh with her husband, had shortly before moved back in with her family.
