KINGSTON, Ont. - A terrified woman begged for secrecy about her abusive living conditions out of fear her husband would kill her and his three teenaged daughters to preserve the Muslim family's honour, an Ontario court heard Monday.
The witness, who cannot be identified by court order, talked of how she tried to calm her older relative over the phone.
"She was shivering. She was afraid," she testified.
"I told her don't be afraid: This is not Afghanistan. This is Canada. I told her nothing would happen."
In fact, the Crown alleges, Mohammad Shafia along with his second wife Tooba Mohammad Yahya and their son did kill Rona Amir Mohammad and his three daughters by drowning them......
The Crown maintains the deceased were somehow incapacitated before they went into the canal.
The defence argues it would have been extremely difficult to have rendered them incapacitated or drowned them without leaving clear signs of trauma or other evidence.

A freak accident and a racial/religious motivated prosecution or is it a case of "Murder, She Wrote"?
