"Mafioso shoots sister over 'dishonour'"

There's nothing romantic about the Mafia.

Police said that Giovanni had shown no remorse, admitting: “I shot her, I shot my sister . . . She had a child by a man she was not married to.

“It is a question of honour. I would have shot her in the back, but she turned round. I am not sorry. On the contrary, I am proud of what I did.”

He said that he had waited until she had had her baby because under the Mafia code “you don’t kill pregnant women”. [emphasis added]

This turns my stomach. I don't think I even want to watch The Godfather movies anymore.
