His wife didn't cook goat so he killed her. And now he will die behind bars.

[mota bhai 2,675]

NEW YORK: A US judge sentenced an elderly Pakistani-American to 18 years to life in prison Wednesday for murdering his wife in New York after she refused to cook him a goat supper.

...

Frail and with medical problems, Wednesday's sentencing from Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge Matthew D'Emic means that Hussain will likely die behind bars, though he will be eligible for parole after 18 years.

...

Hussain viciously beat 66-year-old Nazar, his third wife, to death. The medical examiner's office said she had been battered more than 20 times.

She died of a fatal brain hemorrhage.

...

He maintained she disrespected him by swearing and believed he was entitled to discipline his wife of 21 years.

The picture on the news is very deceiving.

Why? The image is of an elderly man of south asian descent wearing a muslim skullcap sitting in a courtroom. Sounds right to me.

Did he have dementia? No, not an excuse, just wondered if there was an explanation for going off on one for something so stupid.

Take out the news, leave alone the picture. What would you say about that, honestly? Crying old man? This is not because what he was wearing. Picture has thousand words.

My perception is whoever published the news along with the picture just to make people feel pity for what he did. I won't. He deserved the sentence for what he did. I bet there are a lot pictures of him in the court. Not only this one and why choose this particularly? Printed the news along with this picture in Pakistan and many Pakistanis would see this differently.

Believe it or not there is still bias about women in the country. What about woman who got killed in front of court because married the man she loved- honor killing I believe what it called- where there were many people watched her slowly died? I did not say all Pakistanis. I am sure there a lot good people there. But you can't close your eyes and thinking that it never exist.
