A Muslim father and his two sons tied up his teen daughter and drowned her in a swamp because they believed her “Western behavior” was shaming their family, according to Dutch prosecutors.

The body of Ryan Al Najjar, 18, was found gagged, bound with tape and submerged in a marsh May 28, 2024, six days after she vanished from the family’s home in Joure in the north of the Netherlands, the NL Times reported .

Her male relatives allegedly murdered her after she adopted a “Western” lifestyle that included her refusing to wear a headscarf, associating with males and using social media.

Mohamed Al Najjar, 23, and his brother Muhanad, 25, are charged with murdering the teen, while her father, Khaled, 53, is accused of orchestrating and participating in the killing before escaping to Syria.
