Because of a misdiagnosis by the midwife.. A young man kills his sister under the name of “washing the shame” in Afrin

A horrific murder took place in a village in the countryside of Afrin, north of Aleppo, where a young man shot his twenty-year-old sister inside the family home, killing her immediately, according to the Syrian Observatory.

In detail, the story began when the mother noticed a bulge in her daughter’s abdomen, so she took her to a popular midwife to be examined. The midwife made a misdiagnosis and told her that the girl was pregnant, which prompted the mother to inform her husband and son. In the evening hours, the brother used his weapon and fired at his sister, before fleeing the place.

Following the incident, the police arrived at the scene and took the body to the forensic doctor, where it was found that the cause of the swelling was due to water bags and not to a pregnancy, and that the crime was committed based on a wrong conclusion.
The incident brought back to the forefront the file of crimes known as “washing the shame”, with demands to hold all the parties responsible accountable, including the midwife who provided an inaccurate diagnosis that contributed to the crime.
On June 4, the village of Jalma in the countryside of Afrin, in the areas controlled by the Syrian National Army affiliated with Turkey, witnessed a tragic murder, where a citizen shot his wife dead with a weapon he had while working on agricultural land, and then ended his life by shooting himself. The reasons behind this act are still unknown.
