Orchard Park police are investigating a particularly gruesome killing, the beheading of a woman, after her husband -- an influential member of the local Muslim community -- reported her death to police Thursday.
Police identified the victim as Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37. Detectives have charged her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, with second-degree murder.
"He came to the police station at 6:20 p.m. [Thursday] and told us that she was dead," Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew Benz said late this morning.
Muzzammil Hassan told police that his wife was at his business, Bridges TV, on Thorn Avenue in the village. Officers went to that location and discovered her body.
Muzzammil Hassan is the founder and chief executive officer of Bridges TV, which he launched in 2004, amid hopes that it would help portray Muslims in a more positive light.

I’m a little unclear. What is second degree murder?
Religion of Peace in action again.
This is just precious. A business to portray Muslims in a better light and he beheads his wife. I’m speechless.
In a heat of passion.
Easier to prove, usually the same punishment as 1st Degree.
“Yep thats a more posituve light you got going there Muzzammil “
Beheading their wives - that’s about as positive as they’ll get.
When I read the headline, I was going to get real snotty and ask if it was a savage Muzzie and by golly, it is.
“Muzzammil Hassan is the founder and chief executive officer of Bridges TV, which he launched in 2004, amid hopes that it would help portray Muslims in a more positive light.”
Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhh.....how’s that workin’ out for ya, Hassan?
The barbrarians are not at the gate, they’re swarming over the walls.
Fry this bastard, NOW!!!
I know I shouldn’t but I’m kinda having a laugh at that line myself.
In NY State, unless they’ve changed it, first degree is killing a law officer and Second Degree is premeditated murder of anyone else.
Gee, what a coincidence. Muslim, beheading. He probably thinks that this honor killing paints Muslims in a positive light.
Buffalo has had enough tragedy today. Please God, no more.
What is ACTUALLY surprising is that the news story identified that fact.
I believe we can classify that as another business failure. Has he applied for stimulus funds yet?
OK, I guess that makes sense. I mean, cutting someone’s head off seems pretty first degree to me! Yikes!
I grew up in Orchard Park. This office is right next door to the Catholic grammar school I went to.
I just told my 81 year old mother about this. The only thing she has heard about today on the news was the plane crash. She still lives in Orchard Park, NY.
It is funny how things change.
YOu only get it for killing a police officer? Wow.
Somehow, you can’t make this stuff up. Truth is stranger than fiction.
Can you believe that this country would elect someone with the middle name of Hussein so soon after 9/11?
Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37.
Muzzammil Hassan, 44.
Baptists, right?
