| Norway: Shahzad Khan gets 21 years for murdering his three sisters |
| 2007-12-13 |
| Shahzad Khan, 31, was sentenced in Oslo to Norway's maximum prison sentence of 21 years for the killing of his three sisters last year. District Attorney Kristian Nicolaisen argued for forvaring for Khan, extended preventive custody that can be used to potentially extend a sentence to life incarceration, on the grounds that there was a danger the Norwegian-Pakistani could kill again. The court did not rule in favor of forvaring, explaining that it was unlikely he would emerge from such a long prison sentence with his drug problems intact. intact - Not quite the word I'd use in reference to a triple-ax murder spree. Khan was on a variety of drugs, vodka and rohypnol when committing the crimes. The three sisters Nafisa, 13, Saadia, 24, and Sobia, 27, were struck down with an axe and murdered in their semi-detached home in the Kalbakken district of Oslo. One of the sisters was also shot with a pistol on the night of October 1, 2006. When the trial began the brother declared himself partially guilty, and testified that he could not remember carrying out the killings, but realized that he must have been responsible. There's a photo of the murder weapon at the link. The lab techs cleaned it up real good. They must've used Bon Ami. |

| #3 Is it Norway where it is not against the law for convicted criminals to simply not turn up for their prison sentences? |

| #2 No, 21 years means he'll be out in 5, 6 years max. This is Norway we're talking about. He'll also get weekend furloughs, and a nice private dorm room. |
