I heard about this yesterday, and this really annoys me. Why the heck would someone kill his own sister? I really don't see any justification in this, because you know what? There is no justification. And what really sucks, is that one of my friends here was actually friends with this lady. What the heck is wrong with people?

Humans, or rather social animals in general, indeed tend to apply favoritism when someone from their close circle is involved if that' s where you were going with this, but some people try to be impartial. Besides, it might come as a surprise to you but just because someone is family doesn' t mean (s)he' s necessarily part of your close circle. As for what happened here, from what few informations we got there (bordering none), I' d wager she had a pen and he had a sword. Crime passionnel, oldest story in the world. On a side note I' m quite curious about this Baha' i Faith Community, never heard of it before.
