Father kills 16 year old Canadian girl

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Peel Regional Police on Tuesday released the name of a 16-year-old Mississauga teen who died after allegedly being attacked by her father.

Aqsa Parvez

Aqsa Parvez was found in her Longhorn Trail home on Monday morning without any vital signs.

Paramedics revived her and took her to Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, where she died late Monday night.

Police said they received a call from a man who said he'd just killed his daughter.

The victim's father, Muhammad Parvez, 57, was arrested at the scene. He will appear in court on Tuesday and face murder charges.

Aqsa Parvez's friends told CBC News that the teen had been having arguments with her father because he allegedly wanted her to wear a traditional hijab.

"She kinda wanted to go a different way from the way her family wanted her to go," said one friend.

They also said that she wanted to escape the family conflict by running away.

On the family's quiet street, neighbours were dismayed, calling the events "a tragedy."

One neighbour said she was "praying for the family."

At the teen's school, Applewood Heights Secondary School, grief counsellors have been called in and tributes are being arranged.

"Aqsa was well-known at the school," said Sylvia Link, communications manager for the Peel District School Board.

"She had a wide circle of friends and … those closest to her really are [the] most affected. But anyone at the school, you know our school is like a family, you know anyone at the school is really going to be shocked and saddened by this tragic news."

Waqas Parvez, the victim's 26-year-old brother, has also been arrested and charged with obstructing police.

Yeah.

The only person responsible for her death is her father.

Now that sucks. Big time.

Makes me put my petty resentments in perspectives and thank God for the father I have.

It seems like Canada has a pretty high number of pride killings for a western civilization. My fiancee always tells me about the abuse/killings of girls in BC for similar reasons.

I disagree. Religion is like a narcotic. It addles the mind, rendering it incapable of healthy and rational functioning.

We routinely punish drug pushers, we should take it to the next step. Everybody who pushes religion (i.e. preaches), this death is on them.

I think it's safe to say that he wouldn't kill her for not wearing a hijab if he wasn't muslim.

and his reason? A RELIGIOUS one.

That said, islam is not responsible. Like christianity was not the cause of the Crusades. It's when you get an overzealous moron interpreting a religion that it becomes dangerous.
