Canada: Shafia family found guilty in honour-killings trial
KINGSTON, Ont. After Canadas first mass-honour-killings trial, three members of a Montreal family have all been found guilty of first-degree murder in the drowning deaths of four other family members including three teenage sisters.A jury on Sunday handed down its guilty verdicts for Mohammad Shafia and Tooba Mohammad Yahya, as well as their 21-year-old son, Hamed. They had been charged with murder after the bodies of three Shafia sisters Zainab, 19, Sahar, 17, and 13-year-old Geeti were discovered in a submerged vehicle in a canal near Kingston, in June 2009. Also in the vehicle was Rona Amir Mohammad, the 52-year-old first wife of Shafia, whom he married in his native Afghanistan before the polygamous family moved to Canada in 2007 and settled in Montreal.
