Calgary, Oct 04,2013 (SDN) -More details are emerging about Omar Shire Hassan, the Somali-Canadian who allegedly beheaded his four sons after recently returning to his native country. Mr. Hassan, who is in the custody of Somali police, lived in Montreal, Toronto, the Yukon and Northern Alberta before returning to his native country 10 months ago, according to longtime friend Mohamoud Fidow.
“We were surprised when we heard it, that he [allegedly] killed his own children. We didn’t believe it. We were so surprised and shocked. He never got arrested in 25 years in Canada. He never had a problem with the law. He was a clean guy.”
Mr. Fidow, who met the 60-year-old Hassan more than two decades ago, said his friend suffered from long-standing marital problems and apparent mental illness.
