Laurie Lacelle: The Kingston Mills

Diba Masoomi Dept: She was drowned in her early 50s at the Kingston Mills locks along with three teen-aged Shafia sisters, according to Globe and Mail. But this had to be kept secret, she testified, because the family honour would be in danger, and her own life would have been in danger. While Rona was unable to have children herself, she helped raise the Shafia children, prosecutor Laurie Lacelle told the trial in her opening address. She loved them all. At the murder trial, Ms. Mohammad's younger sister, Diba Masoomi, who lives in France, recounted that Ms. Mohammad told her during phone calls that the other adults in the family had ostracized her.
