The lawyer for a member of a Montreal family that has been charged with killing other family members says he is "seriously considering" asking for a change of venue for the case due to the negative press surrounding the case in Kingston and in Montreal.**********
Ferdoussi says the media's talk of the crime as an "honour killing" has effectively poisoned the atmosphere in both in Kingston, where the crime happened, and Montreal, where the family lived in St. Leonard.

"I know what it is," Waice Ferdoussi said when asked if the incident was an honour killing.Yeah... it's a mystery.
"I don't know why they are talking about it in this case. Perhaps because they from Afghanistan, maybe."
Rona, 50, confided to her two siblings that she overheard Mr. Shafia saying he would kill his eldest daughter over her behaviour and the relationship.**********
