Orchard Park police are investigating a particularly gruesome killing, the beheading of a woman, after her husband — an influential member of the local Muslim community — reported her death to police Thursday. Police identified the victim as Aasiya Z. Hassan, 37. Detectives have charged her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, with second-degree murder.
“He came to the police station at 6:20 p.m. [Thursday] and told us that she was dead,” Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew Benz said late this morning. Muzzammil Hassan told police that his wife was at his business, Bridges TV, on Thorn Avenue in the village. Officers went to that location and discovered her body. Muzzammil Hassan is the founder and chief executive officer of Bridges TV, which he launched in 2004, amid hopes that it would help portray Muslims in a more positive light.
The killing apparently occurred some time late Thursday afternoon. Detectives still are looking for the murder weapon.
“Obviously, this is the worst form of domestic violence possible,” Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III said today.
Authorities say Aasiya Hassan recently had filed for divorce from her husband. “She had an order of protection that had him out of the home as of Friday the 6th [of February],” Benz said. Muzzammil Hassan was arraigned before Village Justice Deborah Chimes and sent to the Erie County Holding Center.
So second degree murder? Really, how does that work?
He was spreadin’ the word of Islam by spreading the love & the body parts.
How dare you point out that he’s Muslim, you horrible rightwing hatemongers!
You are only furthering the image of Muslims as violent, which marginalizes them and drives them to desperate measures like barbaric violence.
There is not one shred of evidence that Muslims are more likely to behead people…if you point out the large umbers of beheadings, I’ll just point you to Revolutionary France to show you that Western culture behead even more!
# 22 The big difference being that the French evolved.
You Dhimmi 2nd class citizen don’t have the right to question a Hussein, now that we like Iraq have one in the White House. Actually, he’ll probably be released on bail and flee to some Muslim country in order to murder/sorry marry again.
The sooner you loose Dhimmis learn your place the sooner our own B.O. can round you up in a orderly fashion for processing…..
Whatever

If this isn’t first degree murder nothing is assuming he did it rather than another person with middle eastern views.
The only reason I can figure for charging him with second degree murder is the guy turned himself in and reported the killing.
Brownie points for good behavior after the fact and making the cop’s jobs easier.
Um this guy never tried to get away with killing his wife.
This was an emotional response that never thought much if any past revenge.
That’s not his wife. This is:

Neat. How, I ask, does a Muslim “behead” his wife, exactly? Bread knife? Jig saw? Scimitar? Call OJ? Chain saw? Crosscut saw? Really, it seems like a very messy way to avoid alimony. He did do that, at least. So really, is she dead BEFORE the head is severed? Or during? Or after? Icky, but these are fundamental questions. Too bad she was not a cop or a judge. NY would charge 1st Degree Murder for a Judge… Not just a meager civilian taxpayer. Naturally. Those New Yorkers. So superior to the rest of us..

# 25 deowll said, “If this isn’t first degree murder nothing is assuming he did it rather than another person with middle eastern views. ”
In NY this isn’t 1st degree murder. Read the statute.
Every Muslim has his own right to do what he thinks is appropriate to do. Every man for himself. If she did wrong, she should be punished. So if you dont know anything about Muslims and Islam then they should not use you computer to spit lies here.
You have your economic to worry about dont you?
#32 What lies are you referring to?
#32–zorkor==what lies have been told?
Ouch!!! This burns deep.
Dear Mr. Editor: Please delete my post #34 and this one as well.
Seems Paddy-O has zorkor fully engaged. He’ll answer a week from now on another thread. It will be hard to see, but the answer will be there.
zorkor is too busy sawing to answer right now.
#35, Bobbo,
Seems Paddy-O has zorkor fully engaged. He’ll answer a week from now on another thread.
So you noticed that too.
Zorkor is too busy rationalizing being a murderer. Is there internet access in federal penitentiaries?
#32 If you know nothing about human rights, you should shut up.
He did a good job. He showed you what their all about.
