Guilty plea in honour killing

Meet Kamikar Singh Dhillon, former father-in-law of Amandeep Dhillon. I say "former" because Mr. today pled guilty to stabbing his daughter-in-law multiple times in the face and throat at the family's grocery store.

Amandeep was a young mother who had wed Dhillon junior in an arranged marriage. Although there was no evidence to support his belief, Dhillon senior somehow got it into his head that Amandeep was about to leave his son for another man.

The prosecuting barrister told the court, "He maintained throughout all his interviews that her pending separation from her husband would disgrace the family name, which justified killing her." Said the murderer, "I'm sorry."

Walt offers the usual prize for the first correct guess as to where this happened. Answers on the back of a postage stamp, please.
