Brother suspect in killing (Canada's first 'Honour' killing?) The Ottawa Sun ^ \| Thu, September 21, 2006 \| JON WILLING ottawasun.com Cops reach out to Afghan communities to find 20-year-old man after fatal shopping centre shooting. DISBELIEF FELL over an Ottawa intensive care unit yesterday when police announced they were hunting the brother of a young woman who was shot to death at an east-end mall. Ottawa police said last night they considered Khatera Sadiqi's 20-year-old brother, Hasibullah Sadiqi, a suspect in the shooting that killed the 20-year-old woman early Tuesday morning. Police said Hasibullah Sadiqi should be considered armed and dangerous. Along with a picture, they released a description of the type of car the suspect drives -- a grey, two-door 1992 Mazda 323. This morning police said they are trying to reach out to Afghan communities outside the Ottawa area in an effort to find Sadiqi. The shocked and tired look on Hameed Mangal's face yesterday spoke volumes for the dozens of family and friends who poured into the Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital to comfort him and his family. His brother, 23-year-old Feroz Mangal, was in a coma after being shot with the same gun that killed Khatera Sadiqi. Feroz Mangal and Khatera Sadiqi had been engaged for about six months before a shooter pulled up to Mangal's Honda just before 1 a.m. Tuesday at Elmvale Acres Shopping Centre and riddled the inside with bullets. MULTIPLE SHOTS Sadiqi, who was in the driver's seat, was killed when a bullet struck her head. Despite taking multiple shots to his body, including his neck, Mangal survived but was still in critical condition last night. Const. Steve Desjourdy said detectives have been conducting numerous interviews and investigators were able to identify a suspect. Detectives are "looking at everything" when it comes to possible motives for wanting to kill the young couple, Desjourdy said. Police are also awaiting official results from ballistics and an autopsy, he said. Speculation about why police consider Hasibullah Sadiqi a suspect began to snowball yesterday, but some people said the local Afghan community has been talking about the couple's upcoming marriage. Hameed Mangal said he heard Hasibullah Sadiqi had issues with the relationship. "He wasn't happy because they were engaged," Hameed, 24, said. The possibility of Khatera Sadiqi's death being related to an honour killing baffled Hameed as he tried to relax in the hospital's emergency room last night. Nothing seemed out of sorts when the couple left early Monday evening for a night out. It wasn't unusual for Sadiqi to be behind the wheel of Mangal's car because she loved to drive, friends said. SAVING MONEY The couple had been saving money for the early years of their marriage. Mangal began studies at Carleton University and was considering taking criminology courses because he wants to be a cop. Mangal, who had taken a year off school to earn some cash, had been working at the Wal-Mart at South Keys. Sadiqi, a beautiful young woman who was born and raised in Ottawa, made quick impressions on new friends and co-workers. She had just started a new job last week at Melanie Lyne in Carlingwood Shopping Centre and was quickly making her mark. Co-workers at the clothing store were concerned when Sadiqi didn't make it to work Tuesday. They were shocked yesterday to learn of the young woman's fate. "She was fun, she was bubbly, she was happy," store manager Jenette Jeff said. "She seemed to be a good fit." Just last Saturday, Sadiqi was modelling clothes for the store's customers, taking a break from her regular duties as a cashier. Sadiqi also had aspirations of getting a post-secondary education and was considering taking courses at Algonquin College. Friends described Sadiqi as a caring and sweet-talking woman. She embraced her extended family, they said, and they did the same to her. "She was like a sister to me," Hameed Mangal said. "She was unbelievable." Ali Zeitoun, 19, said he went to school with Sadiqi for four years. "It's a shame she's gone, and the way she went out is wrong," he said. Zeitoun said he also knew the girl's brother and didn't get the feeling he was upset with the impending marriage.
