Let’s take a moment to remember Amina and Sara, 2 girls that were killed by their father Yaser Abdel Said (an Egyptian immigrant in the U.S) for not practicing Islam and having boyfriends. Yaser has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.https://t.co/tvMR4nxuMI. pic.twitter.com/kiT50GzfqS

The court's decision of handing a life term jail for Yaser Abdel Said over his 2008 cime where he killed his two young daughters was met with great celebrations online as social media users hailed the Attorney's sentence saying that the Egyptian father deserves even more.
Glad they caught and sentenced Yaser Abdel Said. He already was locked up two years after being on the run for 12 years pretty much. I remember first hearing about his story on YouTube and how he was never caught.
