THE GUARDIAN: A taxi driver was today jailed for life for bludgeoning his wife and three children to death with a rounders bat over her affair with a married man.
Rahan Arshad, 36, committed the murders and then fled on a pre-booked flight to Thailand, leaving the bodies to remain undiscovered in the family home at Cheadle Hulme, Greater Manchester, for almost a month.
He beat his wife with the bat more than 23 times in their bedroom before attacking his children. Pathologists needed dental records to confirm the identities of the four victims.
Arshad, who worked as a driver for Tripps taxis, murdered Uzma Rahan, 32, their sons Adam, 11, eight-year-old Abbas and daughter Henna, six, because of his wife's affair with a married man named Nikki, Manchester crown court heard.
The jury took two hours and 15 minutes to find Arshad guilty of four counts of murder. He showed almost no reaction as the verdicts were read out. Taxi driver guilty of bludgeoning family to death

This bizarre account demonstrates the horror of Sharia law in a graphic and repugnant way. The man should be locked in a dark dungeon for the remainder of his miserable life and never be allowed to see the light of day. His behavior is so unbelievable brutal and inhumane that it is beyond the understanding of civillized human beings. Is this man a 'moderate Muslim' I wonder????
I am impressed this man was brought back to face Western Justice for what I am sure he felt justified under Sharia Law.
