Two get life for murder of bride
2003-10-21
Two cousins were jailed for life Monday for slaughtering murdering a 21-year-old woman on her wedding day. Prosecutors said Rafaqat Hussain, 33, and Tafarak Hussain, 26, were angry that their relative, Sanjda Bibi, was marrying a divorcee and non-blood relative.
Not a blood relative? Why, the brazen hussy!
So minutes before the wedding ceremony, they cornered her and Rafaqat stabbed her 22 times with a kitchen knife. Rafaqat, from Camberley, in southern England, pleaded guilty to the dressmaker's murder. Tafarak, who denies the charge, was convicted 10-2 by a jury of the same offense last week. Rafaqat told police that the killing had been accidental, but officers believe he was incensed that she intended to marry a divorcee.
"Honest! It was accidental, y'r honor! I din't know the knife was loaded!"

#10  Anyone besides me think that the UK has a 5th column problem? Or is all the ire reserved for France?

#9  Britain does not require a unanimous verdict, and I believe it must be at least 10-2 (or greater) for conviction. I'm not sure whether this is true for all crimes or not (for which a jury is available, anyway).

#6  Britain doesn't require a unanimous jury verdict? Do they require a simple majority for a conviction?

#4  "...was marrying a ... non-blood relative." Maybe the prescribed inbreeding explains the Muslim radicalism.

#1  Stabbed 22 times is an accident?

He's been reading Muslim News outlets again. His problem is that he's stupid enough to think we all are.

Don't incarcerate these scum... Burn 'em.
