I didn't know the exact statistics but creating the market with 50:50 for one in June implies it would occur every 2 months or 6 times a year. First I thought that would be off, a too high figure. But:

http://www.bka.de/pressemitteilungen/2006/060519_pi_ehrenmorde.pdf (Federal Criminal Police Office)
From 1th January 1996 to 18th Juli 2005 (114 months): 55 crimes with a total of 70 deaths.
p.s. it's a shame that things like this happens in a civilisated nation...
