Today's case explores a topic that is unfamiliar to us in the West and that is arranged marriage. An arranged marriage is one where the initiative to unite does not come from the bride and groom, but from their parents. Historically, it was common for kings to marry their sons to the daughters of neighboring nobles or even enemies to forge alliances between kingdoms. Although, many view arranged marriages as a relic of the past, it still persists to this day in some societies, particularly in India and it was there that in 2011 young Bimal and Shriya entered into such a union which eventually led to a court case.

The Arranged Marriage Which Ended Up in Flames | Bimal and Shriya Patel

The case I am presenting today happened in two countries at the same time: Canada and India. It involves what many refer to as Acts in the Name of Honor. A girl named Jassi, one of the heiresses from a very rich and powerful family, fell in love with Mithu, a man of much lower socioeconomic status. This did not go down well with her family, who ended up organizing an execution plan that unfortunately ended in tragedy. This is the story of the couple Jassi and Mithu.

Beheaded in the name of honor | Jassi Sidhu's Murder

October 31st is a date widely celebrated. Halloween. The celebration goes back millennia. Before today's case I want to quickly summarise the origins of this celebration.

More than two thousand years ago, October 31st was celebrated by the Celtic people (in Ireland) as the first day of the observance of Allhallowtide. All Saints Day (Nov 1st) was the beginning of the new year and many believed that on October 31st the dead connected with the living. This day came to be called Halloween, which actually means Day of the Dead. So people started dressing up as saints, singing songs in the streets and at family gatherings, while children knocked on doors asking for a soul cookie, which they believed would protect them from evil.

The religious beliefs related to Halloween eroded over the centuries but the customs and practices did not. Saints' clothes became relaxed costumes and children were given sweets, not soul cookies. The tradition continued and the playful and fun version became popular in the United States in the 20th century.

But in 1974, in the state of Texas, a crime tragically marked this celebration, causing the joy and fun of Halloween night to be seen with fear and caution. The case I am going to present now will talk about the poisoning of Timothy O’Bryan and the mysterious man who ruined this ancient celebration.
