Shocking turn of events in murder case

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WIVB) - An Orchard Park TV executive accused of beheading his wife now claims he was the victim.

An attorney for Muzzamil Hassan said the Bridges TV co-owner was the victim of years of domestic abuse.

His wife, Aasiya was found beheaded at the TV studios back in February.

Hassan's attorney plans to argue that his client was battered past his breaking point, and that the killing was justified.

Hassan's attorney will have to present evidence of a psychiatric defense by the time the trial resumes in March.
