Man Proved Guilty of Killing His Pregnant Girlfriend

Eight years ago, Tasha Rosette was stabbed multiple times and was slit in the throat. Her boyfriend, Amjad Khan, was the main suspect eight years ago. Tasha Rosette wad pregnant when killed by her boyfriend. She was stabbed to death outside her basement suite in Surrey, B.C.

In 2006 Amjad Khan and his "alleged accomplice" Naim Mohammed Saghir were both arrested and charged with murder. Two years after they were convicted with murder and conspiracy to commit murder. The BC Court of Appeal over turned those charges and requested a new trial.

On Friday, Amjad Khan was found guilty of first degree murder. Though, Naim Mohammed Saghir was found not guilty.

This relates to law 12 in multiple ways. The first way is when they were charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder which is mens rea and actus rea. This means guilty mind and guilty act.  Another way, is the case was brought to B.C. Court of Appeal where the defendant can try to appeal the charges. The last way it connects to law 12 is the murder itself, which is clearly a crime.

How I See It...

This case is sad and also very educational. It is so frightening that someone would actually do that to their loved one, let alone a pregnant girlfriend. This case sums up a great deal of law 12, which sadly this tragic event is educational to us.

17 Year Old Boy Hit By a Train

Friday night around 8:30pm a 17 year old boy was a bit by a train. The 17 year old, Zack Wyatt, was partying by train tracks on Caribou road and Barnett highway in Burnaby. His friend, Shana Harris, was out on the tracks with him when she told him "There's a train coming, lets go." "He dropped some stuff and he went to go pick it up, and while he was picking it up the train wailed him right in his face." He suffered facial injuries, friends state that it looked like he had a hole in his face. RCMP says he never lost consciousness and was taken to Royal Colombian Hospital. Burnaby RCMP officers are starting an investigation on the accident.

This relates to Law 12 because we discussed the laws of minors regarding drug or alcohol abuse. It was said that he was partying by the train tracks.

It is incredibly unsafe to be partying by a train track and this proves that point. I wonder what the investigation will bring up.

Voice Recorder found After a Recent Helicopter Crash

Yesterday at 12:11 am a Helicopter crashed 0.7 nectar miles away from the Moosonee, Ontario. Investigators found the cockpit voice recorder. The helicopter was an ambulance helicopter that crashed on the north side of Moosonee airport. All four people in the helicopter died, two pilots and two paramedics. The Transportation Safety Board said the recorder will be sent to the lab for an analysis.



It is said that the recorder can hear the noise from the helicopter engine, rotors, audio warning and conversations taking place in the cockpit. If the data on the recorder is useable it will help the investigation immensely. The investigator in the crash say the helicopter had a "high energy impact."

This relates to law 12 because their will have to be legal protection due to the fact it is evidence.

This is another sad article. These people were trying to help save a life and they have lost theirs instead.

Canadian Mans Search Called Off

A Canadian hiker went missing in Australia's snowy mountains May 13. The search for Prabhdeep Srawn, was called off recently. The end of the search angered his family. They believe "There's been so many areas that have not been searched, but the authorities have pulled out without doing a thorough investigation" says his cousin Ruby Singh. The family is offering a $15 000 for Prahbdeep's safe return. His family has also considered hiring private companies for a new search but the family is having troubles getting information to re start a new search. The search started on May 20 but stopped because they authorities believed it was unlikely they were going to find them alive.

This relates to Law 12 because the authorities could be liable for for stopping the search.

It is so sad that authorities have stopped searching for someone. I would hate to be in the position of his family right now.
