This case passed under my radar, I decided to look into it further.
Dr. Mohammed Shamji is under no circumstance an innocent man. Due to their religious discipline, Muslims make good doctors. Unfortunately there's also the trash that sometimes comes with it. While he was a respected neurosurgeon, he practiced Sharia Law at home, he behaved like a despot. That's fine in Saudi Barbarica where females are no more than breathing meat, it is not tolerated in Canada. Dr. Elena Fric, being a respected doctor herself and a Bosnian Muslim, would not submit. The arguments were explosive and sometimes violent. She'd had enough and filed for divorce. According to Sharia Law, women don't have the right to annul a marriage. She broke the law and had to be punished, so he beat her to death. Under Sharia Law disobedience requires punishment and he took it too far.
It looks to me like Ms Fric sacrificed herself for the sake of her daughters. They both condemned their father and he has probably lost touch with them for life. Being Canadian, they now understand how religious tyranny can destroy lives. Dr. Shamji changed his plea to guilty after coming face to face with his daughters. For this he got the faint hope clause, he didn't get the maximum time served before a parole hearing.
...unlike the Shafia family who were made an example of for their diabolical honour killings. They will all die in jail.
