Prominent Orchard Park man charged with beheading his wife (founder of Bridges TV)

[Spouting Horn]

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.

...

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.

2. "...amid hopes that it would help portray Muslims in a more positive light."

Mission most assuredly NOT accomplished.

Generally speaking, beheading your wife is frowned-upon.

7. He didn't "plan" cut off her head...

8. It takes time and effort to behead someone.

He may not have had such an intent hours beforehand, but once he started it sure took intent to finish the dirty deed.
