Islam and Hijab-Murder in Canada

 

 

Sadia was in conflict with her family who wished to force her to take part in an arranged marriage in Pakistan. More generally, they reproached her for having become 'too Westernised' but after the breakdown of family relations, the young woman agreed to meet them, on Monday, in Lodelinsart.

She was meant to meet her parents and her brother. Upon their arrival, the sisters found themselves confronted by their brother wielding a firearm. He shot in their direction.

They were admitted to the CHU in Charleroi for their wounds, where Sadia later died. Her sister remains in hospital. As for the killer, he has proved impossible to locate.

Sadia had contacted the Centre for the Prevention of Conjugal Violence
