"Both Mr Hassan and his wife worked at Bridges TV, a station aimed at countering stereotypes of Muslims. "

Is it me, or have there been a lot of random beheadings going on lately? I heard something about someone being beheaded in a coffee shop recently...and there were a couple before that too. Weird!

I saw this story a few weeks ago and was surprised that it didn't get that much attention (that I noticed) especially considering where it happened and all the hoo-ha when that Canadian bloke got decapitated on a bus.

What the hell was this guy thinking?, he must have a screw loose. What had she done that was so bad that he felt justified in killing her in such a barbaric way.
Not only has he lost his wife, but also his children , his reputation and his career . . .what a idiot.
