Man Beheads Daughter and Carries Her Head Through Town - as part of the news series by GeoBeats.

In the state of Rajasthan, India, a man toted a severed head in one hand and a sword in the other while walking through a local Indian village. According to CNN, the man had cut off the head of his own daughter citing “indecent behavior”, as he believed her to be acting inappropriately with other males. The young woman was living with her parents after a divorce, but her mother was working on a farm at the time of the tragedy. Although the father is now in police custody, the story is bringing to light the rise of family crimes against woman, commonly referred to as honour killings.

A Pakistani male killed his ex-girlfriend with a hammer after finding out that she was flirting with another man online. The ex-boyfriend said ‘she deserved to die’, claiming she was being unfaithful to him, although the couple was separated. A young Indian couple was killed after the girl’s father and uncle decided to end their relationship. The boyfriend was a taxi driver and from a lower caste, which the female's family was against.
