A Muslim man has been accused of cutting his wife’s head off after she filed for divorce. Aasiya Hassan filed for divorce from her husband, forty-four-year-old Muzzammil Hassan, alleging that he subjected her to domestic violence.

Muzzammil Hassan is the boss of a TV network in the UK, and his wife’s body was found headless at the TV station. The couple worked together at the TV station, a popular Muslim channel in New York State.

Mrs Hassan’s divorce lawyer explained that violence had prompted her to file for divorce. The TV station also released a statement that it was:

Deeply shocked and saddened by the murder of Aasiya (Zubair) Hassan and subsequent arrest of Muzzammil Hassan.

The couple had two young children together.
