The founder of a US television station aimed at countering stereotypes of Muslims has been arrested and charged with beheading his wife, local media reported Monday. Muzzammil Hassan was charged with second-degree murder of his wife, Aasiya Hassan, whose decapitated body was found Thursday by police at the Bridges TV station in a Buffalo suburb in New York state, police told The Buffalo News.
"He came to the police station at 6:20 pm (Thursday) and told us that she was dead," Orchard Park Police Chief Andrew Benz told the newspaper. Police reportedly went to Bridges TV, which Hassan founded in 2004, and discovered her body. Orchard Park police told AFP there was a statement about the murder and arrest but would not release it or confirm any details pending contact with the police chief, who was unavailable.
