Talk:Shafia family murders

New (Old) Source
The Kingston Whig Standard just published an old article from 2009 (https://www.thewhig.com/news/from-the-archives-death-on-the-rideau) during the initial stages of the investigation, when the murder was initially being invested as a horrible accident. There's some details in there that correct some of the narrative in the wiki article (part being that there was a boat being let in when it was found, and one of the people in the boat helped the police do the initial survey as they had a diving suit with them. Before the new-old source gets buried, I wanted to put this here in case I forget to get around to updating the article. The Legacy (talk) 20:19, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Delete article request
There are no proves about this issue. The police arrested Mr. Shafi, Hamed Shafi and Mrs. Tooba Yahya JUST in custody. This article is difaming a family and their good name. Please delete this article for now.

King regards


 * I'm sorry about your friends being "difamed", but you have to stop being so blind. Plus, you don't decide what Wikipedia does. You already change all of our traditions by being so offended by everything; why should we take down an article about a notable, major event about a wife and three kids being murdered just because you don't like it? It happened. Deal with it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.33.62.49 (talk) 21:47, 14 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Whether or not there is proof of murder does not matter. What matters is this is a notable case, as such Wikipedia can / and should have an article about it, regardless of guilt. - RoyBoy 17:50, 26 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Whether you like it or not, Mohammad, Tooba and Hamed will face the ultimate justice in this Country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.24.167.8 (talk) 03:28, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

How did the girls die?
What actually was the cause of death? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.91.207.3 (talk) 21:09, 14 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Official cause of death is drowning. It is unknown, however, if the victims drowned in the canal (where they were found). Prosecution theorizes that they "were drowned" somewhere else and then put in the canal. The fact that victims didn't try to get out from under just 3 feet of water while not wearing seatbelts and with a car's side window rolled down also supports prosecution theory. The defense insists it was a horrible accident. Trial continues, so what the jury decides remains to be seen. -- Zealander 03:30, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Useful link with info that needs inclusion otherwise it looks like Wikipedia supports unsourced allegations that say "they were Muslims so of course it was murder, we don't need no stinking evidence or sources." CarolMooreDC 19:17, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
