LINK Nusrat Jahan Rafi: Burned to death for reporting sexual harassment - BBC News
This in particular bothered me:
According to a statement given by Nusrat, a fellow female student took her to the roof of the school, saying one of her friends was being beaten up. When Nusrat reached the rooftop four or five people, wearing burqas, surrounded her and allegedly pressured her to withdraw the case against the headmaster. When she refused, they set her on fire.
Female! FEMALE!

I don't know if its hereditary but some of the most bad tempered guys i know are from that country. They seem to be prepared to do the most unspeakable things in the name of honor without regard to consequence. This does not surprise me at all. What does surprise me is how when the same type of guys arrive in a western country they get involved in drugs alcohol prostitutes gambling etc. Honor and religious commitment goes right out of the window. Poor Nusrat.

The main thing for a blackmailer is to do everything quickly, quietly, and clearly, cut down everything he needs, taking advantage of the moment of shock. And then go into the shade and stay in it. For him, the main thing is not to open up. Therefore, there is no need to fuss; you should take care of your body, attract people and figure out who it is. As far as I know, she stated the local police station. She should have been given a safe environment where she could recall her traumatic experience. Instead, the duty officer filmed her on his phone as she described the ordeal. She needed to go to [digitalforensics.com] ; they would have helped her there. In the police, things go too slowly; sometimes, people don't have time to wait a lot because their life is on the verge of death.
Unfortunately this is not an one of occurrence.
