On Wednesday 4 June, a father opened fire on his 18-year-old daughter in Lebanon's northern region of Akkar, killing her immediately, a source close to the family said. The father, Mustafa Soufan, hails from the Akkar town of Bibnine. The killing of his daughter, Walaa, took place shortly after noon. The source said the alleged crime might be related to disputes between the girl and her fiancé who were set to get married later this month. The source said the girl no longer wanted to get married, which provoked her father's anger. The source described the father as a nervous and short-tempered man. Residents classified the killing as an ‘honour crime.’
