Charge against brother upgraded to first degree murder
He was originally charged with obstruction.
A Mississauga man is now facing a first-degree murder charge in the 2007 death of his teenage sister.
Waqas Parvez, 27, was originally charged with obstructing police after his 16-year-old sister, Aqsa Parvez, was strangled in early December at her Mississauga home.
Aqsa Parvez was murdered for not wearing a Muslim headscarf.
Just goes to show that irrational and invalid concepts like religion or religious faith should never be used to validate social application.

What does “validate social application” mean?
