Two Iraqi sisters have been killed, allegedly by their brother, in Sadr City in eastern Baghdad, the Iraqi Ministry of Interior said on Sunday.
The brother was under the influence of alcohol when he carried out the attack, a ministry statement added without elaborating on how the women where killed.
“The incident of the killing of the two sisters in Sadr City, east of Baghdad, was carried out by their drunken brother,” Major General Saad Maan confirmed, according to local reports.
The horrific incident has been labelled as a so-called honour killing, according to the ministry statement.
