A man charged with murdering his three daughters in apparent honour killings has said he would do it again, even if they came back to life 100 times.
Mohammad Shafia, 58, cursed his daughters Zainab, 19, Sahar, 17, and Geeti, 13, saying they were 'treacherous' as he likened them to prostitutes during a conversation that was recorded by police.
His wife, Tooba Mohammad Yahya, 41, and their son, Hamed, 20, are both on trial alongside him facing charges of first-degree murder.
He was also heard saying 'Even if, God forbid, they hoist us onto the gallows... we accept it wholeheartedly' a day before the trio was arrested.
His three daughters and second wife, Rona Amir Mohammad, 50, from a polygamous marriage, was found dead in a car in the Rideau Canal in Kingston, Ontario, in June 2009.
The court heard the recordings in which Shafia talks about his daughters and the fact that they were dating while ranting about the family's honour.
Zainab had married her boyfriend, angering Shafia and causing family turmoil.
After Yahya said that she knew Zainab was 'already done' but wished 'the two others' weren't, he responded saying 'No Tooba, they were treacherous.'
Speaking about pictures of his daughter he said he was consoled adding, 'No Tooba, they were treacherous. When I tell you to be patient, you tell me that it is hard.
'It isn't harder than watching them every hour with (boyfriends). For this reason whenever I see those pictures, I am consoled.
'I say to myself, "You did well. Would they come back to life a hundred times, for you to do the same again",'.
He also says that the family had been violated in the worst possible way.
He added: 'May the devil...(defecate) on their graves. Is that what a daughter should be? Would (a daughter) be such a whore?'
The jury has also seen graphic underwater video in which a pair of legs can be seen in the murky water.
