New York:
The founder of a Muslim-oriented New York television station has been convicted of beheading his wife in 2009.
Pakistan-born Muzzammil "Mo" Hassan never denied that he killed Aasiyah Hassan inside the suburban Buffalo station the couple established to promote cultural understanding. A jury on Monday rejected his claim he was the victim of spousal abuse.
Hassan acted as his own lawyer during the trial in Buffalo.

The Hassans had two young children.
