Buffalo Beheading Case: Muzzammil Hassan Attorney to Claim Murder of Wife “Was Justified”
January 22, 2010
This posting provides updates in the trial of Muzzammil Hassan, who beheaded his Muslim wife, Aasiya Zubair Hassan, in February 2009, after she filed for divorce. The case has been seen by many to be an “honor killing.” The latest reports state that Muzzammil Hassan is claiming that he was abused and was a “battered husband,” who murdered his wife in self-defense. His attorney seeks to use this and a psychiatric defense in his March 2010 trial. The judge stated today that he would reject an “emotional-disturbance defense,” and the prosecutor noted that Muzzammil Hassan beheaded Aasiya Hassan after she filed for divorce.
