Iraq: Kurdish Journalist, Son And Husband Found Dead In A Car; Police Deem It As A Case Of Double Murder-Suicide

The Coalition For Women In Journalism is devastated to hear about the murder of former Kurdish TV anchor and journalist Lana Mohammed in Sulaimaniyah, Northeastern Iraq. We are equally saddened to find out that her three-year-old son and husband — also a journalist and NRT presenter Amanj Baban — were also found dead with her inside a car. While investigations by police have cited the incident as a double murder-suicide, we urge local authorities to conduct an in-depth inquiry into the killings and clarify what went down at the crime scene.
