Since its reasonably common in the culture where they have origins/routes and that is the name used there, I don't think we should avoid the use of the term "honour killings."

The persistent use of the term in this trial exposes it for what it really is, cold blooded murder, and pressures adherents to these ancient but stunningly immature societies to progress further towards the 21st century.

Particularly if they choose to live in this very 21st century Society.
