Mississauga man faces murder charges in daughter's death
Wednesday, December 12, 2007

A Mississauga man charged with murdering his 16-year-old daughter is scheduled to appear at a Brampton court for a bail hearing, Wednesday morning.

Homicide detectives have also been investigating Aqsa Parvez's older brother to determine if he had a role in the killing.

Parvez died in hospital late Monday after being on life support at the Hospital for Sick Children. Her mother has arranged for her organs to be donated.

Friends of the teen said she had been arguing with her family over whether she should wear a traditional Muslim hijab, or head scarf -- something the teen did not want to do.

Her father, a 57-year-old cab driver, faces murder charges.

Parvez's 26-year-old brother is charged with obstructing police, allegedly for trying to mislead officers during their investigation.

3. Well this is a sad thread, and I don't want to see how someone can blame it on Clinton or Obama

I'll assume for the time that it has come to that over there.

2. Was she wearing naughty underwear from Walmart?

5. No, she simply had a father who didn't understand the meaning of moderation

I REALLY have to remember how lucky I am.
I am tolerant of different religions...
I am a believer of live and let live...
but this is uncalled for....
