PALESTINIAN HONOR KILLING DEVASTATES FAMILY... FATHER KILLS DAUGHTER.. PRESSURE FROM COMMUNITY FEAR OF BEING FORCED OUT OF THE WEST BANK... After the killing, Munther had gone straight to the local police station and turned himself in. For ...some of the relatives, the death was a cause for celebration. Thamer’s aunt held a feast celebrating that the family’s honor was now clean.
But for the immediate family, it was and remains a tragedy.
“My father doesn’t understand that he will go straight to hell now,” Suad told The Media Line bitterly. Later on the family found a letter written by Munther in which he outlines his plan to kill his daughter. The family believes the letter was written the day before the murder in which Munther clearly states he holds all who circulated the petition against the family to be responsible.
The letter, acquired by The Media Line, began by apologizing to his wife, children and grandchildren.
“Don’t hold any kind of funeral for my daughter, and don’t let those who signed the petition into my house,” the letter states.
Thamar’s immediate family is still angry at those who demanded that the “family honor” be restored.
“Thamar’s sisters kicked relatives who came to pay their respects out of their house. They were angry because they believe these were the same people who helped spread gossip that led to killing Thamar,” her brother-in-law Zaher Mohammed told The Media Line. “My wife and her family are suffering in silence publicly, but at home the loss is more devastating than just the death of one person. The whole family is traumatized.”
