Arrest made in Suzan Tamim murder case
Well, when the murderer is arrested and speaks about the reasons he had to killing her so viciously, we will see if this was an honor killing or not.
According to a source close to the investigation, a 23 year-old British man of Iraqi origin was arrested in Dubai on July 31. While he has initially been detained for a period of one week, it is understood that this could be extended.
Police refused to comment on Monday, saying there were no updates available on the investigation.

Meanwhile her father has stated that she was killed by a hired hitman:
Before his arrival in Dubai, Tamim told Arabia TV that he had a telephone conversation with his daughter before her death and that she had disclosed some important information to him which could lead to the arrest of the murderer.
He said his daughter was not killed over any financial dispute, somebody wanted to take revenge and hired someone to kill her. He said that he will hand over some documents to the police, and called on the UAE authorities to speed up the investigation.

It is probably sort of like an honor killing, only it was done by someone not in the family. Most likely something like what happen to Theo Van Gogh, Muslims didn’t like the fact that she was sexy, so they killed her for betraying Islam.

Yes, I agree. The problem I see is always the same: why no Western MSM reports on these cases?
She was a famous singer, sexy, beautiful. Why her murder’s circumstances were not even mentioned in Western MSM?
