CANADA – A man murdered four members of his family to stop them finding out he was living a double life.

Evil Menhaz Zaman brutally killed his mum Momotaz Begum, 50, dad Moniruz Zaman, 59, sister Malesa Zaman, 21, and his 70-year-old grandma Firoza Begum in July 2019.

The 24-year-old from Markham in Canada, murdered them the day before they believed he would graduate from York University with an engineering degree.

But in reality he had dropped out of the course due to failing grades and was spending his days at a local shopping mall, gym and playing video games at the family home, The Star reports.

After the murders he sent text messages to online friends saying he had been “planning this for three years” and that while he was a “pathetic coward subhuman” his “shaking has stopped”, a court heard.

His shocked pals alerted the police who found the bodies of all four victims at the family home.

Last month Zaman pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of his mum and first-degree murders of his grandma, sister and dad.

He told police he killed his mum first at around 3pm on July 27 and his grandma an hour later.

Both had their throats cut.
