Brother Of Slain Girls Defends Father At Vigil

The brother of two teenagers killed in January defended their father, the prime suspect in the slayings, at a candlelight vigil Saturday night.

Family and friends held the vigil to remember Sarah and Amina Said, who were shot and killed in the back of their father's taxicab at an Irving hotel in January...

During the vigil, the girls' brother took the microphone, saying his father did not kill his sisters.

"They pulled the trigger, not my dad," he said.

The brother blames his sisters for their deaths, he sides with the father. That is chilling to say the least.

It has been over two months since the murder of these two girls, two months and the father is still on the loose. Who is hiding him? What agency or group of people is at work keeping him safe from arrest. Has he returned to Egypt? If so, how did he get there? Where is the moderate Muslim voice in our community raising up against this travesty?
