Deaths: Mohammad Shafia and Eyewitness Testimony

deaths: Evidence heard at trial included various statements the accused made before and after the deaths, according to Globe and Mail. For example, on police-installed listening devices, Mohammad Shafia was heard making derogatory comments about his daughters for dating, and accused them of shaming the family with their behaviour. Despite a lack of eyewitness testimony, the prosecution maintained the deaths were planned and deliberate, even if the exact role each accused played was unclear. He also referred to them as whores. They betrayed us immensely. We lost our honour, Shafia said at one point. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
