I’d sure like to know what the evidence was. Did eyewitnesses see this bunch load the corpses in the car and push it into the drink or was the water in the victim’s lungs different from the water in the canal?
Seems like they got real elaborate her.
Damage to their car front bumper matched damage to the rear bumper of the van where the bodies were found. Also weeks of wiretap evidence had the admitting and even crowing about the crime.
They were guilty. Maybe Harper can ride this one to change Canadian immigration policy. We don't need this kind of thing anywhere in the anglosphere.
I read that three of the victims’ heads showed bruising in back but you are right that almost none of the forensic evidence has been discussed in the articles about the case.
I assume that the victims were supposed to have been unconscious when the car went in the water.
There was an FR thread on this not long ago...iirc, the son drove the family sedan and pushed the SUV with the girls and the woman in it, into a canal. The resulting damage to the sedan left evidence at the site of the crime.
Hamed Mohammed Shafia is escorted by police officers into the Frontenac County courthouse in Kingston, Ontario on Wednesday, January 18, 2012.
Mr. Shafia captured in secret police wiretaps speaking to Ms. Yahya or Hamed:
“Even if they hoist me up onto the gallows...nothing is more dear to me than my honour.”
“Let's leave our destiny to God and may God never make me, you or your mother honourless. I don't accept this dishonour.”
“This is my word to you: Be I dead or alive, nothing in the world is above than your honour.”
“I am telling you now and I was telling you before that whoever play with my honour, my words are the same...There is no value of life without honour.”
“If we remain alive one night or one year, we have no tension in our hearts, [thinking that] our daughter is in the arms of this or that boy, in the arms of this or that man. God curse their generation. Curse of God on both of them, on their kind. God's curse on them for generations...May the devil [defecate] on their graves. Is that what a daughter should be? Would [a daughter] be such a whore?”
