Tooba Mohammad Yahya, the Montreal mother convicted in the “honour” killing of her three teenage daughters and her husband’s first wife, filed an appeal Wednesday, according to media reports.

The appeal is based upon similar grounds as those cited by appeals by Yahya’s husband, Mohammad Shafia, and son, Hamed Shafia, who have all been convicted of first-degree murder in the case.

Yahya’s lawyer, David Crowe, could not be reached for comment.A representative from Crowe’s office told Postmedia News last week that an appeal would be filed but declined to comment further. She said Crowe did not want to speak with the media about the case.

Shafia, 58, Yahya, 42, and Hamed, 21, were each found guilty in January of four counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Shafia’s three teenage daughters and his first wife in a polygamous marriage in what the Crown successfully argued was an honour killing.
