It was a trial that captivated Canada – the honour killing of three teenage Shafia sisters and their father’s first wife, murdered by the girls parents and their brother.
For three months, Maclean’s reporter Michael Friscolanti lived in a Kingston motel room, following the story for both the magazine and 1310News. Now, his exhaustive coverage of the trial, from opening arguments to the guilty verdicts, is available in a multimedia eBook – the first of its kind in Canada.
The Shafia Honour Killing Trial is more than just a e-version of the Maclean’s stories – it allows readers to immerse themselves in the trial itself.
“We have pieces of the evidence,” Friscolanti tells 1310News. “We have the diary of Rona Amir Mohammad, (Mohammed Shafia’s) first wife, the one that was killed. It’s the diary that she wrote in secretly and that she kept in the house. We have clips of the videotaped interrogations of all three of the killers. We have rarely seen photographs. All types of things that people who want to know more about this case, can see now.”
The Shafia Honour Killing Trial eBook is available in both PDF format or for the iPad through the Maclean’s magazine app.
