This appears to have been an honor killing.
In the Qur’an, a mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack. He then explains: “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief. So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.” (18:80-81)
And according to Islamic law, “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.” (Reliance of the Traveller o1.1-2).
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour ‘provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.’” And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.” In Iran, according to the New York Times, the legal system “treats parents who murder their children with relative leniency, as the maximum sentence for the crime is only ten years.”
“Melbourne father jailed for ‘unspeakable’ murder of daughter and son-in-law,” by Danny Tran, ABC.net.au, February 22, 2022:
A Melbourne father who gunned down his own daughter and her husband, partly because he was not invited to their wedding, has been jailed for life over the “cold-hearted” and “cowardly” killings.
Osman Shaptafaj, 57, today appeared in the Supreme Court of Victoria where he was ordered to serve two life sentences concurrently after pleading guilty to murdering Lindita Musai, 25, and Veton Musai, 29, at Yarraville about two years ago.
Shaptafaj will have to serve at least 35 years, meaning he will be in his nineties before he becomes eligible for parole.
Confronting details were aired in the Supreme Court about how Shaptafaj lay in wait for the couple for almost two hours before shooting them both in the head at point-blank range.
Leaving his daughter and son-in-law lying on the porch, Shaptafaj then rang the doorbell of the house so that they could be found by Mr Musai’s distressed family members.
He then walked to nearby grasslands where he shot himself twice while being watched by onlookers.
Shaptafaj claims he has no memory of what happened and the Supreme Court heard that he believed he was stuck in a “glitch” of the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops, a first-person shooter game set during the Cold War.
John Allan says
What a waste of prison facilities!
Couldn’t they have just hanged – or electrocuted – him, and had done with it!?
Michael Copeland says
“What a fantastic contribution muslims make to this country!”

But will the Australians even be told that Osman Shaptafaj is justified in his murders by Sharia law? They will assume and be told that Osman Shaptafaj is ‘insane’, not that Sharia law says he has permission to kill his own offspring.
The KAFIR killed by Osman Shaptafaj was committing a blasphemy, so Sharia law also justifies the murder of the non-Muslim.
Will Australians be told the passages in Sharia law that exonerate Osman Shaptafaj?
– K.18.65 permits the killing of one’s children and grandchildren and Sharia law codifies such HONOR KILLINGS: (Sharia law manual Reliance of the Traveller o1.2)
“The following are not subject to retaliation:
-3- (meaning: killing an apostate from Islam is without consequences); -4- a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring. RoT o1.2
and “There is no indemnity obligatory for killing a non-Muslim (harbi) at war with Muslims.”
-RoT, o4.17, p.593.
RoT o5.4 (O: There is no expiation for killing someone who has left Islam, a highwayman (def: o15). or a convicted married adulterer, even when someone besides the caliph kills him.)
Rebellious, non-practicing children are considered to be apostates from Islam. Mohammed required apostates to be killed.

mozlum males have the idea…pounded into them from infancy…that they are special and that whatever they want, they must have. This murderer wanted to be in charge of every aspect of his daughter’s life and when he wasn’t…if I recall, he had been abusive to her and her mother for years and they had not wanted him to be around them at any time….he murdered her and her new husband.
It’s too bad his self-inflicted wound didn’t work to finish him off….but other mozlums need to know what happens when their arrogance leads them to murder their family members….sad that other mozlums never learn from one here, one there being sentenced.
An over-all domination of islam by all nations would be the only thing humans could do to control…somewhat….this demonic menace.
Most people don’t survive into their 90’s and we can hope this creep expires before any release date.
tim gallagher says
Well, since we don’t have capital punishment in Australia, I guess this life sentence will have to do for this piece of evil crap. Since he is already 57 years old, he will probably die in jail. Sometimes people who get life sentences do seem to get released and Victoria is well known as a very left wing state. In New South Wales, there are some people who are never to be released, usually serial killers like Ivan Milat was, and a few others. It is a shame that the taxpayer will have to spend plenty of money feeding this man and keeping him in jail. It’s strange how he could shoot and kill his daughter and her husband but couldn’t manage to kill his useless self.
WAYNE A BECKETT says
yeah tim as we told by howard the coward that with the modifyed gun laws there would not be any more shootings , so where did this perp get the gun from .it is a crying shame that such a lovely couple have thier lives cut of by a sick cultist .I s aussie really going to the dogs –==looks like it
tim gallagher says
The criminals never seem to have trouble getting their hands on the guns they need, WAYNE, as you can tell by those ongoing drive by shootings and executions in the war between the two gangs, the Hamzis and the other mob, in Sydney over recent years. But there is also that case where that man, with an appalling record for domestic violence, his surname was Edwards I’m pretty sure, was somehow able to obtain a gun legally from authorities and then murdered his son and daughter with it, then killed himself, no doubt to make his former wife suffer, and then she committed suicide 6 months or so later because she couldn’t face life without her children. From memory the children were about 12 or 13 years old. There was some kind of review of how this scumbag Edwards could get a weapon legally. Maybe this Muslim scumbag also got his gun legally.

Australia: Muslim who murdered his daughter and her husband for marrying without his permission gets life in prison
……………
Well, this is something. With “two life sentences”, at least it means it is unlikely that he will be out in a decade or two.
His grotesque claim that he murdered his daughter and her husband because he thought he was stuck in a Western video game could not be more grotesque. Of course this was an “Honor Killing”.
somehistory says
He will be serving both sentences at the same time. The judge should have made them consecutive and he would not ever get out…no matter how long he lives.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Somehistory. There is no reason for these sentences if they are concurrent.
