Founder of Islamic TV station accused of beheading wife

NEW YORK (CNN) — The founder of an Islamic television station in upstate New York aimed at countering Muslim stereotypes has confessed to beheading his wife, authorities said.

Muzzammil Hassan was charged with second-degree murder after police found the decapitated body of his wife, Aasiya Hassan, at the Bridges TV station in the Buffalo suburb of Orchard Park, said Andrew Benz, Orchard Park’s police chief.

Hassan was arrested Thursday.

His wife filed for divorce January 6, and police had responded to several domestic violence calls at the couple’s home, Benz said.

Hassan went directly to the police station after his wife’s death and confessed to killing her, Benz told CNN. Benz declined to give further details.

A seven-year-old boy was kept chained in a closet as relatives hacked off pieces of his flesh to eat, a court has heard. The abuse – involving members of a religious cult – was uncovered by chance last May when a neighbor’s television baby monitor picked up graphic pictures of what was happening next door.
