Court heard Toronto family physician Elana Fric Shamji had served her husband Mohammed Shamji with divorce papers two days before he attacked her
Relatives of a Toronto woman murdered by her husband expressed heartbreak and rage Wednesday, telling a court her death had shattered their family.
Shamji stuffed his wife’s body in a suitcase and dumped it in the Humber River, court heard. He then went to work as usual, performing surgeries while his wife was reported missing. Fric Shamji’s body was found a day after she was last seen on Nov. 30, 2016, and police arrested Shamji 24 hours later.“Instead of playing with their mother, they have to lay flowers on her grave,” a teary Fric told the court. “I thank God everyday for the children. They are the only things that keep me alive.
She and her husband worked overtime, logging long days to help pay their daughter’s way through medical school. Court heard Fric Shamji became a well-respected family physician with more than 1,000 patients.
