TheStar.com | GTA | Brother charged with murder:
"Waqas Parvez, 27, was originally charged with obstructing police after his 16-year-old sister, Aqsa Parvez, was strangled in early December at her Mississauga home.
Their father, Mohammed Parvez, 57, was charged with first-degree murder in the case. He will now stand trial with his son."
*************
A so-called 'honour' killing.
Not surprising however that the Canadian media has declined to explain the history and prevalence of 'honour' killings inside the Islamic faith.

I'm disappointed with the reportage of these crimes, too. But I've noticed at least some in the Canadian media are beginning to call Aqsa's murder what it was. . .a dishonor killing. And they are also finally using the term "strangled" instead of the tortuously-PC "neck compression" to describe how she died.
Maybe they are slowly being taken kicking and screaming toward the truth. :-)
