It will take very long time for courts to decide the case of these murderers. By that time more killings will be done in the name of honour. There should be separate courts to decide ONLY cases of honour killings.

After locking the door, police should be informed instead of killing both woman and strange person.

This is much more than honor. They should have called the police and local leaders for appropriate action.
