Another honour killing husband pleads innocence

(Belgium) Claudi Lalembaidje made the huge mistake of marrying Pakistani immigrant Hammad Raza Syed in Belgium. After uttering the immortal words “I do”, Claudi found that instead of the fun loving man she had met, her new husband had changed into an ‘Islamic Man’. As Islamic man, Hammad would beat his wife, tell her what to wear and basically control every aspect of her life.

Saying enough is enough, she went to the police in which to report that Hammad had tried to strangle her (not once, mind you, but twice). At this point, Hammad decided to disappear.

Fearing that she had been duped into marrying an immigrant for the right of abode, Claudi started divorce proceeding citing abandonment as the major reason why. On hearing of this dishonour to his person, Hammad returned and threatened Claudi to stop divorce proceedings telling her:
“That in Pakistan, marriage is for life until death”,
and if she didn’t, he would kill her.

On the 29th June this year, a woman’s beaten body was found in a suitcase in a canal in Northern France. It was Claudi Lalembaidje.

Hammad Raza Syed and his brother Hassan have been charged with "deprivation of liberty and murder" over the death. A third brother is believed to have fled Belgium, possibly to Pakistan, and is the subject of an international arrest warrant.

Of course, both brothers have denied murder. But then all 3 brothers just happen to belong to the religion of hate.
