Very stupid man,now he has to sit in jail and think about what he has done.young life snuffed out because of love for another race.If Indian can accept western cuture
then they should not migrate.
Omg this story shook me. Such a beautiful life. She doesn’t deserve to die this way. He deserve to ROT in jail!! You were so ashamed of your daughter dating outside her race. I think you should be ashamed of yourself and think about how much more shameful it is to kill your own child. There is no excuse or compassion for these kind of things. He deserve life in prison, no parole. It’s pre-mediated murder. 25 years in Canada and cannot adopt to the western culture! RIP Amin!
