Relative of murdered Dallas girls: “This was an honor killing;” father abused daughters

1said.jpg Funeral services–both Christian and Muslim–were held Saturday in Dallas for murdered teen sisters Sarah and Amina Yaser Said. Their father, wanted for capital murder in the case, remains on the loose. Dallas Morning News reports on family reaction–including remarks from the girls’ mother, brother, and great-aunt, who is convinced that the double slayings are honor killings and detailed the daughters’ abuse at the hands of the father:

Before the service, the girls’ mother and brother issued a public appeal for Mr. Said to surrender. Patricia Said said her husband needed to be brought to justice so that her “girls can rest in peace.” She said that she and her son would remain in hiding until her husband is captured.

“I just want him to pay for what he did to my girls,” Mrs. Said said.

Islam Said has previously disputed widespread rumors and media reports that his Muslim father’s religion may have been the reason for the killings. Some have speculated that the deaths may have been “honor killings,” a practice in which a man kills a female relative who he believes has somehow shamed the family.

Patricia Said mourned the loss of her daughters at a Baptist service Saturday at Rahma Funeral Home.

Irving police have said that they are exploring all possible motives for the slayings. Police have acknowledged that the family had some previous domestic problems.

Gail Gartrell, the sisters’ great-aunt, said Saturday that Mr. Said had physically abused the two girls for years. Around Christmas, the girls’ mother – Ms. Gartrell’s niece – had fled because of Mr. Said’s threats to kill the girls after he learned they had boyfriends, she said.“She ran with them because she knew he would carry out the threat,” Ms. Gartrell said. “This was an honor killing.”

She said her niece returned after Mr. Said told her that he would move out so they could reconcile. Within a few days, she said, the girls were dead.

The Ft. Worth Star Telegram also reveals details about the missing father’s marriage to the girls’ mother. They married when she was 15 and he was 30:

Details emerged Thursday about the days leading up to the fatal shootings of the Lewisville teens, who were found Tuesday evening in a taxi that police believe was driven by their father.

Patricia Said and her daughters quit their jobs at a Kroger grocery store in Lewisville just before Christmas, a company spokesman said.

Patricia and Yaser Said were wed in February 1987 when she was 15 and he was 30, Tarrant County marriage records show. The two have had addresses in Euless, Bedford, Grand Prairie and Arlington, public records indicate.

Yaser Abdel Said filed a missing-person report Dec. 26. He hoped police would help track down his wife, according to a report by KDFW/Channel 4.

The incident marked one of the domestic problems that investigators believe may have led to the killings of Sarah and Amina Said.

Friends of the girls have said their father didn’t approve of them dating.

America’s Most Wanted spotlighted fugutive Said’s case. There’s also a $10,000 reward for info.

  1. To one with a highly experienced eye, it is obvious the murders of the beautiful Said sisters of suburban Dallas were dishonor killings.

  2. Let me just say their “great-aunt Gail” has NO IDEA half of whats going on. Please disreguard anything you may hear or read that she’s said.

  3. I believe this man was sexually abusing his daughters and wanted to shut them up about it. This was selfishness and evil to its upmost. I also believe that if he went to another country he should be turned back over to this country to face his crimes. It would be a way for the Muslims to help do away with the negative ideas that the rest of the world has of them being barbarians. If not then it makes me wonder if they are in the least worth fighting for. Send him back, send him back!!!!!!!

  4. You know what else was selfish about this man? He involved his Son in some way…now the lad has to live with that idea that he was manipulated by his Father so he could have access to the girls. I am so sorry for the young man. Mary

  5. This is so horrifying. This man had to be nothing but mentally sick to have done such a thing to two beautiful girls. I agree with Mary Steffens, this act portrays pure evil and utmost selfishness. =[ It’s so sad to see such a waste of life, they were both beautiful, intelligent, and inspiring. I hope people realize that these murders have nothing to do with Islam, Yasser Said was a most irreligious man. Islam condemns honor killings as a crime deserving eternal damnation.

    I hope their souls rest in eternal peace <3

  6. This is an example of the Islamification of the US as the Andrea Yates killings are an example of the Christianization of Texas.

  7. It’s real horrible,
    poor girls . :-(

  8. I have prayed to the One True God for this family. I am sure that justice will be served. Whether or not it is one of the fanatical murders for supposed honor, to take that which one has no right to take is a dishonor to one’s self before God who said, “Thou shalt not Murder!” Blessed are the Peace Makers, for they shall be called the Sons of God. Shalom!

  9. That statement made above saying Aunt Gail didn’t know what she was talking about, well, that was written by Islam the brother and he knows darn well she is aware and truthful about everything she said. It was her sister, the girls grandmother that tried to get the girls out of this sexual abuse, but their mother took them and ran with the molester and continued to let him beat the girls. IF YOU READ ANYTHING WRITTEN IN HERE FROM ANY OF THE AUNTS - BELIEVE IT . THEY ARE TELLING THE TRUTH. Dont believe the mother and brother. Hey ISLAM why do you not work? Why did you snoop around to make sure your sisters were always on the job. I bet if you and mommie would tell the truth, this whole story would end. Said you would hire him a lawyer, HOW?

  10. If you know ANY of the story that isn’t in the papers or on the news..you can only come to the conclusion that Patricia Said was involved..she KNEW that he would kill her girls if she took them back. He molested them for years & tissie not only allowed it but enabled him as well. She fed her girls to this monster….talk about “a mother’s love”…I hope when they find him..they nail her ass too!!!!

  11. hell is befor gall and she shall be made to drink of the oozing pus which she will gulp but will scarcely swallow, and death will come upon the bitch from every quarter,and yet she will not be able to die a terrible chastisementlies ahead in pursuit of the bitch.

    gall are you coming to hell with us jest say or no
