Ryan Al Najjar's father and two brothers face up to 25 years in prison for allegedly drowning the 18-year-old Syrian woman in Netherlands over her "Western" behavior.
Bonny Chu is a Digital Production Assistant at Fox News Digital.
"They saw Ryan as a burden that had to be removed," the Public Prosecution Service said Friday. "Just because she was a young woman who wanted to live her own life."
Authorities said her male relatives, who come from what they described as a "strict" Islamic family, allegedly killed her after believing she was "behaving too Western in the eyes of her family." Al Najjar was reportedly targeted after refusing to wear a headscarf in public-like settings.
