April:
Refugee jailed for strangling 'too Australian' wife KATE HAGAN
April 8, 2010 - 1:53PM
.
A man who killed his wife by using her veil to strangle her in their Melbourne home did so in the belief he was entitled to dominate her, a Supreme Court judge has found.
Soltan Azizi was today sentenced to 22 years' jail by Justice Betty King, who said the Afghani refugee had been physically abusive towards Marzieh Rahimi throughout their 14-year marriage.
Justice King said Ms Rahimi had sought help from social workers and was intending to leave Azizi, despite him warning that he would kill her if she tried.
She said Azizi had complained to Ms Rahimi's sister in the days prior to her killing that his wife was becoming "too Australian", meaning "she was not a docile and good wife in the terms you expected her to be".
"It is clear you were unable to accept that your wife had rights, which rights included the ability to leave you if that was what she desired," Justice King said.
"... Her death clearly resulted because of your belief that you were entitled to dominate and dictate to your wife what she could and could not do."
The couple, who had five children now aged from 14 to 2, came to Australia in 2005 after fleeing Afghanistan and spending seven years in refugee camps in Iran.
Azizi will serve a minimum of 17 years and six months before he is eligible for parole.
