"Honour killing" victim's funeral 28 January

[slofox]

I don't want to seem callous or anything here, but...

On RNZ news this morning it was announced that the woman burnt to death last week near Huntly has her funeral today.

In true journalistic fashion they finished off by saying "Her body will be cremated"...:facepalm:

And I thought "Well, how ironic is THAT?"

(Yeah, I know, I have a sick mind...)

[Paul in NZ]

Lifes a bit of a kicker sometimes eh?

I hope they track her partner down and cremate him alongside her - bastard.

Amnesty International estimate there are over 5000 'bride burnings' every year in India. And people say they are embarrassed to be a Kiwi. Whatever. That's an average of nearly 100 young women being burnt to death every fucking week, because some shithole country decided that woman are lower than, well do they burn dogs over there in 'honour killings'? Fucking cunts.

I couldn't agree more...

Mind you, it's not all one way traffic. A few years ago now, there was a case here in The Tron when a disillusioned mistress (Indian) asked her paramour (also Indian) to meet here in a quiet spot on the northern edge of the city. He pulled up in his car and wound down the window. She came over to him, pulled a jug full of petrol out, tipped it in the window onto his lap and followed that with a lighted match...I daresay he was not able to use the offending member for quite some time after that. :eek:

Comforms to Hindu death practices ... not sure why the media highlghted it ...

[avgas]

Sounds better than, her body ash was put into jars of jam.
Who wants some afternoon tea?? We have scones.

[Eyegasm]

Is the cremation discounted? 50% off???

I knew this girl. Amy was a lovely attractive quiet woman who had suffered a lot. Raped, beaten, the treatment condoned by her family ( husbands right), Doesn't make what she did right, but by all accounts, the law wasn't doing anything to protect her. I wonder if the same story isn't behind this .

My first thought was that they were damn efficient starting the cremation before she was even dead.

So you are saying she was the wife, and not the mistress?

Not that it should really matter I guess.

Remember, this nation of bride burners and dis-figurers (India) got all shirty and righteous when some Kiwi yobbo mocked one of their MP's called Dipsheet or something like it.

Double standard?

Their country has more of them than NZ by quite a bit.

Add 'tall poppy syndrome' and you can't win if you're a Kiwi.

But the dipshit thing was funny!

So what did she do?

It was a while ago. I think she was married to a right bastard, did all the forementioned abuse then thought she had found sanctuary with another man and he was just as bad. It may well have been the boyfriend she set alite.

I knew Amy after the whole thing had happened. She saw me as a 'father' figure in my then occupation and opened up a lot. I hope she has found happiness since.

Unfortunately, there are many more like amy in their culture. In this current case it seems to be the husband who has taken things to the extreme.

I wonder who the government will have to apologise to this time?

I wonder if they'd let Paul Henry film the apology.
