Tooba Mohammad Yahya, one of the main suspects in Shafia honour-killing case, puts the blame on police. During the trial, Yahya said she utterly lied when she was interrogated by police after her arrest.
According to Yahya, her interrogator, RCMP Insp. Shahin Mehdizadeh, constantly screamed at her and time after time called her a liar. She said Insp. Mehdizadeh accused her of plotting with her husband, Mohammad Shafia and her son Hamed in the murder of four Shafia women.
Yahya testified Thursday: “What I told to Mr. Shahin, it was not the truth. I was under a lot of pressure. Whatever I told him, that was all lies.”
She added details to her initial statements given during interrogation. She said the lie wasn’t meant only to save her son.
“(Police) put me there for six hours and I was not able to sleep in the room because of my other children,” she testified. “It was not just Hamed’s issue. Three other daughters, I lost that before. I lost Rona. I lost all my life.”
Yahya said she started off telling the truth but ended up adding lies to it; therefore, she told lies that were mixed with truths.
“It wasn’t in that place which I told that to Shahin,” Yahya testified. “I told him that. I just made a story for him that’s correct, that Hamed and Shafia came (to get) me, that’s correct, but at that place I just gave it another twist for him to leave me alone.”
