In the time leading up to the murder of his sisters and stepmother, Hamed Shafia quashed his remorse by telling himself he had no choice and was simply going along with his father’s actions, he told a parole hearing Friday.
In reality, he was doing more than simply going along with it, said Shafia, who was 18 at the time of the killings. “I was aiding him in doing these things,” he said.
“So it was this back and forth in my mind, this game I was playing between moral obligation and then this whole notion that, ‘OK, I have to go through with it, this is honour,’ and all of that stuff.”
