Canadian law prevails

The Shafia trial is finally over. 

According to the CBC, Mohammad Shafia, his wife Tooba Yahya and their son Hamed were all convicted Sunday of first-degree murder.

They were accused of killing Shafia’s three daughters and his first wife in a polygamous marriage. 

The bodies of the four drowned women were found in a car at the bottom of the Kingston Mills lock.

They have been sentenced to life imprisonment with no chance of parole for 25 years. 

The trial took almost three months to complete and the verdict came after only 15 hours of deliberations. 

The three individuals maintained their innocence until the very end. The son’s lawyer told The Canadian Press his client would appeal the ruling.
