Central Criminal Court has issued a verdict against a man that killed his sister last year for registering with the lawyers union.

The Court, represented by its head Nayef Al-Samrat, judge members Talal Aqrabawi and Hani Saheeba with the presence of Criminal Court DA Jihad Al-Dreedi, has sentenced the accused to 10 years in prison after the family dropped their charges.

The murder took place in February 2009 as the sister registered with the union, yet, the brother was against women workers. He waited for the sister to sleep, then stabbed her to death.
