Just heard on the news that Kingston Police have arrested three people for the murder of 4 women who were found dead in a car which ended up by the lock gate at Kingston Mills Locks, the first lock on the Rideau Canal. Found dead were: Zainab Shafia, 19; Sahar Shafia, 17; Geeti Shafia, 13; and Rona Amir Mohammad, 50. Charged with four counts of first degree murder and four of conspiracy to commit murder were the father, mother, and brother of the three young women: Mohammad Shafia, Tooba Yehya Mohammad, and Hamid Mohammad Shafia .... Rona Mohammad may have been the first wife of Mohammad Shafia .... police aren't releasing many details; but they say it may have been an "Honour killing" .... The family were immigrants from, you guessed it, Afghanistan .... so, what chance is there of winning the hearts and minds of Afghanis ... ? The Nixonian doctrine of "if you have them by the balls their hearts and minds will follow" doesn't seem to be working .... it's time to leave.
