A Jordanian man has reportedly shot his unmarried cousin dead as she recovered in hospital after delivering a baby. The 35-year-old who has not been named then surrendered to police, saying he acted to "cleanse his family’s honour". Stunned medical staff were present as the suspect and his two brothers ran into the woman’s room and opened fire. The 25-year-old mother was hit by six gunshots, the Jordan Times reported, quoting official sources. The day-old baby lying next to her was unharmed. The two brothers reportedly turned themselves in later on. None of the people involved were named by the paper.
