TV Executive Beheads Wife

Yeah, way to blast those stereotypes:

After a three-week trial and one hour of deliberations, an upstate New York jury on Monday found Muzzammil “Mo” Hassan guilty of second-degree murder for beheading his wife.

In February 2009, Hassan, who founded a TV network aimed at countering Muslim stereotypes, went to a police station in the Buffalo, New York, suburb of Orchard Park and told officers his wife was dead, police have said.

Aasiya Hassan had been decapitated, with prosecutor Paul Bonanno saying during opening arguments that the long knife used by her husband had left marks on his office’s tile floor.

The motive:

According to prosecutors, Aasiya Hassan had filed for divorce less than a week before she died.

On the day she died, Aasiya Hassan agreed to take some of her husband’s clothes to his office after he had moved out of their home. He had told her he would not be there, prosecutors said.
