Shafia family murders : House of Shafia (2012) the fifth estate

A father, a mother and a brother stand convicted of the firstdegree murders of four women found drowned in a submerged car in a Kingston, Ont. canal the socalled honour killing that has shocked a nation. But so many questions still remain. How were three young women and their stepmother held as virtual captives in their own home in a country that prides itself on protecting women and children How did police and social workers highly trained to recognize vulnerable people in potential danger not pick up and act on the warning signs that were so obvious to teachers, relatives and friends Family and friends break their silence for the first time and reveal what life was like under the ironfisted rule of a domineering father whose word was law; with a brother who was his eyes, ears and accomplice; and with a mother whose indifference to her daughters pleas and whose willingness to be a partner in their murders has shocked so many Canadians.
