His son should go on trial for harboring this murderer for all those years and the Mother also needs to go on trial for enabling and failing to intervene to protect her daughters

[HardRockMaster]

Those who sheltered this murderer should get sentences too.

[mikalsamad]

Get the mom for tricking the girls into coming back . She is complicit in the murder of her daughters

[lorinelson]

Anyone that kills their own children for any reason is EVIL.

[robbieogle]

"Father"? It's called a sociopath.

“I didn’t do I! I’m being targeted for my faith!” - the man who ran before police could even talk to him because there’s a 911 call from your dying daughter, who was found in the back of your taxi cab, naming you as the killer.

The mother should go on trial, too. She was the one who went back to Yaser after she fled with the girls. If she would have just stayed away, those girls would still be alive. I hold their mother equally responsible for their death.

Disgusting man, he wanted to keep the daughters for him, and yes, get the mother too for this, she is a huge part of these killings, her own daughters!

I never realized they got him. I remember being a kid and seeing Yaser on America’s Most Wanted. I was really thinking he had fled to Egypt and would never be brought to justice. To think this whole time, he had been hiding in Texas. The very state where he committed the crime

[GeneseesQuihui]

The relief I had when I found out he was captured and now I can’t wait for him to be put away! His daughters deserved better!

[BDAgirl]

When Sarah called the police she said "Help, my dad just shot me, I'm dying!"

[downnthevalley]

The mom is just chillen watching everything play out who's gonna prosecute her?

[TruthBTold-opkv]

Turn the eclectic chair on give him his last meal.

[UMVELINQANGI]

There is no honor in what that fiend did. He is depraved.

[kendrag.]

Honor what😡 it's called murder in the USA he wanted his own daughters sicko😖

[dianeyoung]

It is cultural misogyny leads to this kind of violence.

[afl]

I hope this man is never ever set free. I remember this story. They have the girls on recording there is so much evidence against him and other family members. God let justice be served 🙏🏻✨

[crazycatlady]

The girls spoke from the grave, one in an email, one on the phone. And he has the gall to deny it

[psarahgalarneau]

It’s not an honor killing, it’s domestic violence that led to murder. The media shouldn’t use that term as it makes it sound like his daughters did something to deserve this.

[thorawilson]

I'm glad they got him. If he had just loved his daughters he could have perhaps been the major influence to them.
