Husband beheads wife in Orchard Park, NY

I live 50 miles away from Orchard Park, NY which is right outside of Buffalo, NY.

I didn't quite know what to make of this. What do you call it when a husband literally chops his wife's head off? Murder of course. Domestic violence?

At any rate, it seems awfully close to home. If I was living in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan I guess I wouldn't be so surprised as to find out this shit is going on right here in Western New York.

It brings out the xenophobia in me. Who the hell are these people? Maybe it's a cultural thing. Is it time to sharpen up my cultural diversity skills?

The co-founder and chairman of a Muslim-American television station was charged with second degree murder Feb. 18 in upstate New York in the death of his wife, who was found beheaded at their joint office.

The beheaded body of Aasiya Zubair Hassan, 37, was found Feb. 12 at the Orchard Park, N.Y., office of Bridges TV, the station the couple had jointly founded in 2004. She leaves behind two children, ages four and six.

Aasiya’s husband, Muzzammil, remains in jail without bail, after a brief appearance Feb. 18 at Orchard Park Village Court. Orchard Park is a prosperous suburb of Buffalo, New York.

Orchard Park Police Department Chief Andrew Benz told India-West that Muzzammil Hassan had walked into the station at approximately 6:15 p.m. on Feb. 12 to tell police his wife was dead, and that her body could be found at the offices of his television station.
