'Crime of honour' arrests Cops say family conspired in girls' deaths

KINGSTON -- A Montreal businessman charged with killing four members of his family conspired with his second wife and his oldest son to commit mass murder in a bid to restore his honour, relatives of one of the victims have told Sun Media.

The family members allege Mohammed Shafi had beaten his 19-year-old daughter Zainab and threatened recently to kill her and the woman he had passed off as his cousin.

She was his first wife, though he had concealed that fact since the family of three adults, all natives of Afghanistan, and seven children moved to Canada two years ago and settled in Montreal.

"We are convinced that this is a crime of honour, organized under the guidance of Mr. Shafi, his wife Tooba and their oldest son Hamed," Diba Masoomi wrote in an e-mail sent to Kingston Police more than two weeks ago.

Mohammed Shafi, 56, his wife Tooba, 39, and their son Hamed, 18, are each charged with four counts of first-degree murder and four counts of conspiracy to commit murder.

Why were they allowed to enter the country, exactly?

I guess everyone's just supposed to guess that they were Muslims because the article doesn't say so.

They must think the name Mohammed Shafi tells the story.

Well, actually it does.

“Kingston Police also disclosed they believe Shafi had misrepresented Rona Mohammed.

Shafi told police investigators that she was his cousin.

“Investigators would later receive information that would cause them to believe that she was, in fact, Mr. Shafi’s first wife,” Begbie said.”

They’re muslims! She coulda been his cousin, AND HIS WIFE!

I am glad to see these “men” are being prosecuted. That, at least, is a relief.

This says it all. Sharia law, shrouds, death by distorted honour...the muslim cult justifies through blood and fear.

I just about fell of my chair at that comment! Canadians have been outraged by our lax laws for a long time. I, for one, consider our cops angels. They catch ‘em, the courts turn them loose.
