Buffalo-area Muslim TV owner guilty of beheading wife

06:00 PM

Pakistani-American TV station owner has been found guilty of murdering and beheading his wife two years ago, The Buffalo News reports.

After a three-week trial, the jury took just 50 minutes to convict 46-year-old Muzzammil "Mo" Hassan of second-degree murder for the gruesome stabbing death his wife, Aasiya, who co-owned Bridges TV and had filed for divorce. He had claimed he was the victim of battered-spouse syndrome.

The News writes that jurors were "clearly moved by the mountain of evidence and eyewitness testimony" showing that Hassan "was a longtime abuser who methodically planned the brutal, blood-soaked attack on his wife in the darkened hallway of the Bridges TV studio." She was slain in February 2009 in the station, located in Orchard Park, outside Buffalo, which aims to counter negative images of Muslims.

Sentencing is set for March 9. Hassan faces up to life in prison.

Well THAT put a positive spotlight on Muslims now didn't it? Buddy you are no longer in Pakistan... beheading your wife because she files for divorce is not acceptable here.
