You usually hear of muslim women being killed by family members for converting from islam or for dating a non-muslim. But in this case the muslim woman allegedly killed her mother and attempted to murder her father after they disapproved with her relationship and decision to convert to Christianity.
Is this a case of a preemptive honor killing? Sydney Morning Herald
A man has told a court he had vowed to disown his daughter if she turned to Christianity in a dispute before she allegedly blindfolded her parents and fatally stabbed her mother.
Kaihana Tahseen Hussain, now 20, is on trial in the Supreme Court in Brisbane charged with her mother's murder.
Shaheda Hussain, 41, died after an attack at the family's rented unit in Southport on the evening of October 9, 2006.
Kaihana Hussain has pleaded not guilty to the murder of her mother and the attempted murder of her father.
It's previously been alleged she attacked her parents because they wouldn't let her move to Sydney to be with her boyfriend or allow her to convert from Islam to Christianity.
