Lawyer Peter Kemp, who represents Shafia, said he had not yet talked to his client about the possibility of an appeal.”He was not convicted for what he did, he was convicted for what he said,” Kemp said in an interview outside the courtroom, in a reference to damning wiretap recordings played during the trial. On the recordings, Shafia was overheard cursing his dead daughters as “whores,” “prostitutes,” and “honourless girls.”In one recording, Shafia said: “May the devil shit on their graves.”Defence lawyer David Crowe, who represents Yahya, and defence lawyer Patrick McCann, who represents Hamed, both said they believe their clients will appeal.Crown lawyer Gerard Laarhuis said police and prosecutors are pleased with the verdicts.”We want to thank the jury for their very real contribution to the administration of justice,” he said, speaking to a crowd of reporters and spectators on the front lawn of the courthouse.”Our community should be very proud of the quality investigation done by the Kingston police and police from various police organizations throughout Canada.”© Copyright (c) Postmedia News

Most damning were the recollections of two of Yahyaâs relatives, her brother Fazil Javid and her paternal uncle, Latif Hyderi, who both said that Shafia spoke to them of wanting to kill his oldest daughter Zainab because she had shamed him by running away from home and marrying an unacceptable young Pakistani man, acts that made her, in her fatherâs eyes, a âœwhoreâ and a âœprostitute.â

KINGSTON, Ont. – Two days before Mohammad Shafia was arrested for the murder of his three daughters and one of his two wives, he went on a vitriolic rant about his dead children, cursing and condemning their supposed treachery — and then he washed his hands.
It was a profound, if coincidental, end to a hateful rant from a man found guilty Sunday along with his son and wife of four counts of first-degree murder committed, court heard, for reasons most Canadians would find trivial such as dating.
But with that hate-filled diatribe Shafia made it clear he was indeed washing his hands of his daughters, comparing them to prostitutes, telling himself that he “did well” and would do the same again if they came back to life 100 times.

Rather, it’s Polly’s parents, the ethics-free Peachums, who own the stage here. Kathleen Fortin is a powerhouse Madame Peachum who knocks ‘em dead with every song. (Strangely, people seldom dare to applaud during the show, which is a shame.) Jacques Girard, too, is a wonder in the role of Monsieur Peachum, the scoundrel who trains beggars to hone their pitches.
When the parents of the runaway bride come on this strong, it raises the stakes in the battle between mobster Macheath and his unwilling in-laws. And it’s less of a surprise when we find out that he’s doomed to be hanged – barring an act of God or British royalty. (The Quebec setting adds nuance to the deus ex machina ending, featuring a fur-helmeted messenger from the King.)
The singing voices are of higher quality than what’s usually required for Brecht, with one notable exception – Céline Bonnier as Jenny. But she plays to her strengths with breathy vocal fragility for her solo as a world-weary prostitute. Marc Béland’s portrayal of the corrupt cop, Tiger Brown, is deftly done, too.

Bromby is serving a life sentence, but has been eligible for parole after 10 years because he was tried in adult court as a minor. He was also denied parole in 2007.
Bromby had been a casual acquaintance of Tara’s brother and had visited the house on a few occasions before the murder. However, Tara’s brother had kicked him out one day after finding Bromby snooping around his bedroom.
The parole board officials told Bromby that he still had anger management issues with women, Michael Manning said.
Bromby, who is now 34, acknowledged this and said he had been abandoned as an infant, had been abandoned by the woman who had adopted him and was jealous that his friends had girlfriends.
Bromby said he had visited a strip club before breaking into the Manning house in Dorval.
