Sydney - A teenage girl who wanted to convert from Islam to Christianity stabbed her parents after blindfolding them on the pretext of presenting surprise gifts, an Australian court heard on Thursday.
The girl's mother died in the attack - during which 17-year-old Kaihana Tahseen Hussain shouted "Die both of you now" - her father told Southport Magistrates Court.
Bangladesh-born Muhammad Hussain, 49, said that after he and his wife were blindfolded in their bedroom, he felt something penetrate his stomach, followed by the warm sensation of blood flowing from the wound.
"Then she told me: 'This is your surprise,'" he said.
Hussain said the attack came two days after his wife and daughter had returned from a trip to Bangladesh and during the Islamic observance of Ramadan, the national AAP news agency reported.
He told the court he heard his wife say: "Tahseen has stabbed me. She was screaming: 'I'm dying' in Bengali."
The girl twice shouted "Die both of you now" - once in English and a second time in Bengali, Hussain said.
"In response, I told her: 'What mistake we have done for us to die?'"
Disorientated and losing blood, Hussain said he went for help outside, struggling in the process with his daughter as he went to open the front door.
Under cross-examination by defence lawyer Dennis Lynch, Hussain said he was "very angry" his daughter planned to convert from Islam to Christianity and disapproved of her relationship with an Australian university student.
The teenager frequently broke down in tears while her father gave evidence.
The hearing to decide whether she should face trial will resume in October.
Browsing through old threads, i came across this one. I was curious to see what was the outcome although not surprised as to what will happen.
So this psycho girl stabs both her parents, killing her mother in cold blood and because she supposedly wanted to convert to Islam and they won't let her. When in fact she had a kuffar boyfriend, which is haram, and she wanted to live that kuffar lifestyle for herself as well. As can be expected, her kuffar defense team ran with plan of blaming the father for killing the mother and stabbing himself and the kuffar jury and the kuffar system freed her of all charges and lets her walk free. smh
Inshallah the mother is shaheed and this kuffar will burn in hell forever with her kuffar boyfriend who probably already dumped her ugly behind and moved onto the next girl.
Prosecutor Michael Byrne, SC, said the evidence pointed to Ms Hussain as the killer.
Barrister Dennis Lynch, for Ms Hussain, said the only real evidence against his client was from her father and if the jury did not believe him they had to acquit.

What else do you expect the prosecutor to say, the girl is guilty? As for the evidence, do you honestly think these kuffars don't mess with the evidence? how innocents sitting in jails because of planted "evidence"?
It comes down to her word against and the "evidence" that can be tainted and changed to support one party over the other. If the parents were "moderate" Muslims and the girl wanted to "join" the isis then the evidence should change to make the parents innocent and her guilty, all depends on whatever side kuffars want to support...

The prosecutor clearly says that he believes that the girl is guilty, but Ms Hussain's lawyer successfully argued that the prosecutor cannot prove this.
Furthermore, pretty much everybody believes that Ms Hussain is guilty. It does not matter, however. In the case of her lawyer, it is his obligation to argue that his client, the defendant, Ms. Hussain is not guilty, even if he also believes that she is. Furthermore, the defendant, Ms. Hussain, must always be given the opportunity to be represented by a lawyer. If she cannot afford one, she will get one for free.
The case of a daughter trying to kill or killing both her parents, is too unusual. They don't know what to do with it. So, the result is understandable.

I don't think that's the reason; if the lawyer was smart, and I'm assuming the girl's lawyer was, she would play on the prejudices of the jury against Islam and also invite a soft corner for her wanting to convert to Christianity. For example, O.J. Simpson's lawyer successfully preyed on the prejudices and sentiments of almost all-minority race jury, which comprised then of 9 black jurors and 2 Hispanics and with the 1 white person. I think many people think that lawyering is about justice; it rarely is. It's about actually who's the better lawyer and how to spin the facts to your benefit.
Spiritually, however, we know that despite the jury's verdict, God knows all the facts; and there is no escape from that fact on Judgment Day because justice not served here does not mean justice denied in the hereafter - actually, quite the opposite.
