A man is accused of stabbing his 24 year old wife to death front of her mother and two boys has been jailed for life in British court. The man was shouting abuse at her family as he was taken away.

Hajrudin Hasanovic, who convicted of the murder generally in a West Sussex Court, but he was shouted at his former wife’s devastated family and friends while he was taken to the jail,

“My children will never forgive you for what you have done to me and Cassie. . .you killed her. You are bastards all of you.”

It is assumed that after the court had told him that he lost the custody battle and was being deported, he dragged her out of the car and stabbed a large kitchen knife in to Mrs. Hasanovic’s chest as her mother was driving her with her two sons to the women’s refuge in Bognor Regis, West Sussex, on July 29 last year.

The dreadful tale begins when 24 year old mother Cassandra Hasanovic, who wanted refuge from her violent husband in Australia but was refused extended during a three-week trial. Lewes Crown Court heard that the couple’s relationship broken in May 2007 after Hajrudin Hasanovic, 33, was arrested and freed on bail on suspicion of sexually attacking his wife.

Mrs. Hasanovic made number of statements to the police in Australia and in the UK pointing the threatening behavior of his husband. In one statement she said,

“I am genuinely scared for my children and my own safety and feel that they would be in danger if they were near Harry.”

However, Hajrudin Hasanovic denies murder but admits manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

German legislators approved a law to ban secret paternity tests on 24 April. The recent step is part of a new statute on some genetic tests that has taken more than 10 years in the making amid intense debates as some of the ethical issues are much controversial.

Significant features of the law:

• Under the law man who swabs any baby’s saliva, he has to pay fine up to 5,000 euros or 6,500 dollars.
• Saliva would be sent for DNA testing without informing the mother.
• Limits the use of some genetic testing on fetuses to merely medical purposes.
• Genetic tests must only be carried out by any doctor.
• The tests have need of the full consent of all parties involved.
• Parents are prohibited from using any genetic test to identify the sex of the unborn kids.
• Prohibits the use of genetic testing for signs of a predisposition to illnesses that can appear only later in life, like breast cancer or some diseases of the nervous system.

The provision of paternity-tests was one of the most controversial and hot topics with critics charging. It usually denied fathers a conflict-free chance to check that kids are their own issue. However, legislators thought the new law protected the kid’s interests.
