Honour killings? What, three in one go? Including a 13 year old? Including for some reason a 50 year old Aunt?

Don't you think it's pretty twisted to use the death of four people as a springboard for another weak attack on that religion. I'm no fan of Islam, I hate it and everything it stands for, and this does look suspicious, but really, come on...

I bet it goes like this, if it was a bunch of regular white dudes it's murder, if a bunch of black dudes it's a gang related incident. A bunch of Asians it's suicide because of exam failures (lol) and a bunch of Muslims either a failed suicide car bomb attempt or honour killings

The mystery surrounding the puzzling deaths of three sisters from St. Léonard and their relative – whose bodies were discovered in a car submerged in the Rideau Canal near Kingston last month – deepened Wednesday as police announced the status of their investigation has changed.

While neither the Kingston nor the Montreal police would confirm reports that three people were arrested yesterday on their way to Trudeau airport, neighbours who spoke to The Gazette said investigators from both police forces spent several hours at the victim’s St. Léonard home Tuesday night.

Kingston police are expected to make an announcement today about the status of the investigation.

“Everything will be explained then,” said Kingston police Const. Michael Menor.

Menor refused to provide any other details about the change in the investigation or comment on the reported arrests. While Kingston police have always referred to the deaths as suspicious, they initially described the case as a coroner’s investigation, leaving open the possibility the deaths were accidental.

That appears to have changed.

Roger Skinner, Regional Supervising Coroner for East Region, Kingston Office, would not comment on autopsies conducted on the bodies. He said he was unaware that Kingston police planned a news conference for today.

The bodies of the three sisters – Zainab Shafii, 19, Sahar Shafii, 17 and Geeti Shafii, 13 – and their relative Rona Amir Mohammed, 50, were discovered in the submerged car, near the Kingston Mills locks, on June 30.

Mohammed has been described in media reports as the sisters’ aunt. But the girls’ mother, Tooba Mohammad Yahya, told The Gazette Mohammed is her cousin. Kingston police have referred to Mohammed only as “a relative.”

This month, Yahya told The Gazette that she, her husband Mohammed Shafii, most of their seven children, and Mohammed were returning to Montreal after vacationing and visiting relatives in Niagara Falls. The family, travelling in two cars, stopped at a hotel late at night during the trip and, according to Yahya, her eldest daughter asked for the keys to their Nissan Altima. Yahya said she assumed her daughter wanted to practise driving and took the car without permission before it somehow ended up in the Rideau Canal.

The three sisters were all born in Kabul, Afghanistan. Their family moved to Dubai in the 1990s and to Canada two years ago.

No one answered the door at the Shafii home yesterday, and the blinds remained closed as journalists and camera crews gathered outside. A blue Pontiac minivan sat in the driveway outside the white duplex, but it was unclear whether it belonged to the Shafii family.

Neighbours said several vehicles from the Montreal police and police from Ontario spent a considerable amount of time at the victims’ home Tuesday night.

“(The police) were here for at least three hours. They arrived at 6 (p.m.) and must have left three hours later,” said Chantal Tremblay, who lives above the family in the duplex.

Another woman, who lives across the street, said she saw officers go into the house, then saw three men who had been inside emerge and wait on the lawn.

“It could have been the father and the brothers, I don’t know,” said the woman, who spoke on condition that her name not be used. “When the police cars drove away, the van in the driveway followed them. I don’t know who was in the van.”

Montreal police Constable Olivier Lapointe would only say that Kingston police are in charge of the investigation.

As mentioned, you can't open the door until the pressure evens out.

This is like me saying my account is overdrawn and it's the bankers fault.  Except, waitaminute, it is.

So yes, honor killings to be sure.
