An Afghani family living in Montreal took a vacation to Niagara Falls. On the return trip one of the two cars disappeared and was later found at the bottom of a canal with the 3 teenage sisters and their 'caregiver' dead inside. Their father, mother, and brother have been charged with murder - in what police call a domestic violence killing. It has just been revealed that the 'caregiver' was the father's first wife. He took a second wife when she couldn't bear children and kept her on as the 2nd wife's helper & children's caregiver.

And his ethnic heritage has what to do with this?
Other than racism, that is.

Do you note all of the wacko Americans who go postal and shoot up schools and workplaces or blow up federal buildings by their ethnic heritage?

Didn't think so.
Another racist thread.
Nothing to see here.

Perhaps it had something to do with honor killing, it could be relevant. Am I profiling? seriously.
Also it may be of interest that political affiliation religion education and race are quite often noted in news storys.

Because there's a very significant possibility the murders were " Honour Killings". So ethnic heritage comes into play.

Did you even read the article? Or did you just feel like blindly playing the race card for all that it's worth; without really knowing what you're talking about?

Possibility?
Yeah, it seems pretty racist to me.

Either way they're murderers -- and how honorable, to lie about what they did.
In the immediate aftermath of the deaths, an apparently distraught Yhaya told a Star reporter that Zainab liked to practice driving and may have accidentally driven into the water; a sobbing Mohammed Shafi, who said he could not eat or sleep, said Sahar also might have been driving.

Begbie said those claims were false.

They have each been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and four counts of conspiracy to commit murder.
"The deceased teenage girls are Zainab Shafi, 19, Sahar Shafi, 17, and Geeti Shafi, 13."

Fat Ted Kennedy has a background of driving cars into canal's and the like and leaving folks to die. Just wondered if maybe he was back to his old tricks.
