Back in the day when Toronto was a Canadian city with Canadian values, a case like this would have been in the news for weeks and discussed endlessly by media with shock and horror.
Now most people won’t ever even know about it. Cause Muslims killing people, even when you fail to mention them as such, just doesn’t seem to be news.
CBC:
A jury has found Peer Khairi guilty of second-degree murder in the death of his wife. (Alex Tavshunsky/CBC)A Toronto man who stabbed his wife and slashed her throat four years ago was found guilty of second-degree murder on Sunday.
Peer Khairi, 65, sobbed quietly with his head down when the verdict was read in court, days after the jury first began its deliberations last Thursday.
His wife, Randjida Khairi, died in March 2008. She was 53 years old.
Assistant Crown Attorney Robert Kenny said the jury heard four weeks of evidence during the trial, including three days of testimony from Khairi himself.
“We’re very happy with all the hard work that the jury went through and with the way the evidence came out,” he told reporters outside court on Sunday.
Peer Khairi is seen being questioned by a police officer in the aftermath of his wife’s killing. (CBC)Kenny credited the investigative work that police did in bringing the case to court.
“They were the ones who actually got the accused to speak the night of the murder and actually got a lot of the details of what had happened…which is what allowed us to take circumstantial evidence and to be able to tell the jury our theory of what had happened,” he said.
Yes, just your boring, usual “honor killing” in Canada….yawn (rolls eyes)
