Turkish police have recovered the body of a 16-year-old girl they say was buried alive by relatives in an "honour" killing carried out as punishment for talking to boys. BBC reported. The girl, who has been identified only by the initials MM, was found in a sitting position with her hands tied. Her father and grandfather are said to have been arrested and held in custody pending trial. It is unclear whether they have been charged.
