Was Amina Said Mother Patricia Owens Said Charged With Murder?

Amina Said’s mother Patricia Owens Said was not charged with murder. It was her father, Yaser Said who committed the crime of killing his two innocent teen daughters.

Patricia was relieved when police took him for custody after 12 years of her daughter’s murder. She said that she has no idea why her ex-husband killed her daughters.

The Dallas Morning News revealed that Patricia said, “All I can say is there’s going to be justice,” after waiting for 12 years of pain of losing her children.

In 1998, the sisters reported to police that their father abuse them physically and mentally. But, later they waived their accusation on their father. He might have threatened them to do so.

Amina’s friends confirmed that she came with marks to school and told her that his father kicked him as he found a note to her from her boyfriend. Sarah was able to dial 911.

She could only say, “I am dying” repeatedly on the call, and when the rescue team reached the crime scene, the sisters were already dead. Patricia said Yaser felt the girls are modernized.

Being a Muslim, he didn’t like them declining to western lives. Polices caught his son, Islam Said, and his brother Yassein Said for helping him to escape the arrest.

Where Is Amina Said’s Boyfriend Joseph Moreno Now?

However, Amina’s father didn’t find their love worthy that he had to kill his daughters. It is sad, that in this modern century, people still carry their traditional negative values.
