‘Honor Killings’ Trial: Sisters feared their dad would kill them days before their murders, prosecut
SUMMARY: Yasser Said, a man on trial for the murders of his teenage daughters, is described by prosecutors as controlling and possessive. They claim that he killed them because they disgraced his family by dating outside their Muslim faith. Testimony from the trial reveals that the girls and their boyfriends had planned to escape to Oklahoma but ultimately returned to Texas. Within 24 hours of their return, the two girls were found shot to death. Prosecutors argue that the case is about the control Said had over his household, while the defense claims that the state is trying to convict Said based on his religion.
Prosecutors described a father on trial for murdering his two teenage daughters as “controlling and possessive.” Their former teacher says they told her they were running away and knew their dad would try to kill them.
A Dallas jury unanimously found Yaser Said guilty of killing his two teen daughters, Sarah and Amina Said.
Judge Chika Anyiam sentenced Said to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Prosecutors said Said, a native of Egypt, was angry that his daughters were dating and that the boys were not Muslim. They claim in a 911 call from the night of the murders, Sarah said her father was attacking her.
Said's defense attorney said he will be filing a notice to appeal.
