Religious Killing of Daughters



By Maitree T.


BAKKOK - Yesterday, the policed arrested two Muslim parents outside New York City for murdering their two young daughters. The reason behind the murder was associated with religious taboos.


Jasmine, 18 years old and her sister, Laura, 21 years old, were found dead in their car in a canal near their school.


Police became suspicious of the parents when they noticed that there was also damage on the parents' vehicle that matched the damage on the daughters' vehicle.


After the investigation, Mohammed, the father, confessed that he pushed his daughters’ vehicle into the canal because he was not happy with the way they were dressing and the way they were interacting with boys at high school.


The investigators also found out that Hanna, the mother and her cousin, Abdul, were involved in this murder.


After hearing that his daughters were going to meet some American boys, the father, Mohammed, and the cousin, Abdul, followed the girls in their own vehicle. When the girls were stopped near a canal, they used their own vehicle to push the girl’s car into the water.


“I think my daughters behaved against the teaching of the Koran and our neighbors were looking down on them like they were so cheap. They also cursed at them and at all our family members too. Every day, I felt ashamed and embarrassed. No matter how many times I warned them, they never listened. I could not accept their behavior. Seeing my daughters being so Western breaks my heart.” Hanna said.


Students at Jasmine’s and Laura’s school were outraged and saddened by what the parents had done to the two girls. Many students went to the canal to put down flowers and candles in memory of the two girls.
