(Canada) Mississauga: "Father, brother to stand trial in girl's killing"
-- Toronto Star Reports:
--
"A Mississauga father and son have been ordered to stand trial next
year in a slaying that has attracted international attention."
--
"Justice George Gage today decided there was enough evidence for
Muhammad Parvez, now 59, and his son Waqas, now 28, to be tried for the
planned and pre-meditated slaying of Aqsa Parvez. They were both
committed to trial on a charge of first-degree murder in the
strangulation death of Aqsa Parvez."
-- "The 16-year-old student at
Applewood Heights Secondary School died on Dec. 10, 2007. Aqsa, known
to her friends as "Axa" was the youngest of eight children in the
family, which immigrated from Pakistan."
-- "The killing, which some
have described as a carefully planned honour killing while others say
was a horrible case of uncontrollable domestic violence continues to be
the subject of world-wide Internet discussion involving a clash of
Western and Middle Eastern cultures."
-- "Evidence presented at the
lengthy preliminary hearing and the reasons behind Justice Gage's
decision remain under a court-ordered publication ban."
