2nd degree

Prominent Orchard Park man charged with beheading his wife
Man Who Wished to 'Portray Muslims Positvely' Beheads Wife

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.

"He came to the police station at 6:20 p.m. [Thursday] and told us that she was dead," Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew Benz said late this morning.

Muzzammil Hassan told police that his wife was at his business, Bridges TV, on Thorn Avenue in the village. Officers went to that location and discovered her body.

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.

The killing apparently occurred some time late Thursday afternoon. Detectives still are looking for the murder weapon.

"Obviously, this is the worst form of domestic violence possible," Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III said today.

Authorities say Aasiya Hassan recently had filed for divorce from her husband.

"She had an order of protection that had him out of the home as of Friday the 6th [of February]," Benz said.

Muzzammil Hassan was arraigned before Village Justice Deborah Chimes and sent to the Erie County Holding Center.

Oh, that totally changed my view. Rolling Eyes Can't say it makes be judge the faith, but it does make me leery of the men in those countries who still see women and their wives as less than human. I seriously don't get this new barbarism that seems to be spreading this globe like wildfire. Can't just kill someone....have to torture and behead or dismember or light on fire or some other sickening way....drop in acid....whatever. It's disgusting.

How can you behead someone and not be charged with first degree murder! Is this guy getting a break because his religion seemingly condones this barbaric behavior!!!

When you find someone dead, you usually call 911, rather than getting into the car and driving to the police station. Muslim men, especially, hate the western world for freedoms given to the lower class--women. And while a man may declare "I divorce you" three times and that is legal, for a woman to file for divorce is a black mark against his family and hers. Women can get stoned to death for even going shopping alone without a male relative. Even in Damascus, where many young women wore slacks and headscarves, the family I stayed with were very devout. We never went to a restaurant unless the father walked in first to asked if they served alcohol. Going to a young man's birthday party at an old house with the courtyard in the middle, all the men were outside while women were in a room with blackout blankets on the windows, no air-conditioning but an oscillating fan. And this family was very well off.
In downtown Cairo's shopping district, not wearing a head scarf, I was grabbed in the crotch and chest a few times.
This kind of culture does not belong here. PERIOD!

I thought Islam was a religion of peace?

No, Islam is a racist, sexist religion of oppression. It's why until recently it had no hope of survival in the United States.
