A little more than a year ago,
Graham pleaded guilty to pos-
sessing a restricted weapon, a .22-
calibre revolver, in Surrey provin-
cial court.

months after Lynn Duggan's

officer pulled over a car in the
Guilford area.

The Surrey Mountie found a
loaded .22-calibre handgun sit-
ting on the front passenger seat of
-Graham’s car. Police also found a
bulletproof vest, a bamboo baton,
a police baton and two knives in
the car, according to the Surrey
RCMP.

-was sentenced to 12 month:’ pro-
bation. He was prohibited from
possessing firearms, explosives or
ammunition until 1997. ;

Graham worked for
Vancouver City Police for nine
years. He was a member of the
Emergency Response Team.
Graham shot and killed a suspect-
‘ed drug dealer while on duty in
the 1980s.

requested RCMP surveillance of
his home when he learned about
‘the Campbell River death.

_worried as why not be safe,” said
Duggan.

out.”

“She kept saying the girl was not
a nice girl,” the first witness in the
second-degree murder trial of

Rashida Khan told a B.C. Supreme
Court jury on Monday.

Crown prosecutor Allan Flanz claims that Khan,
46, helped to murder her daughter-in-law Naazish
in the family’ 's British Properties home on Dec. 10,
1993. .

Naazish’s body was found the next moming ia
a Coquitlam cul-de-sac, stuffed into the trunk of a
Toyota Camry owned by Abdur Rashid Khan,

“Khan is mostly circumstantial, and she was arrest-
ed seven weeks after the murder.

“There is no direct evidence: no eyewitness, no
DNA and no confession.” Flanz told the jury and
Mr. Justice Allan Stewart.

“You will hear that Mrs. Khan's fingerprints

changed her name from Priya, which,

Sarah Gobin, the-controller for a
chain of men's and women’s clothing
stores, told the court that she met
Rashida Khan on a flight to Toronto
in August 1993. :

The two talked shop for a bit.
Rashida owned a women’s clothing
store on Main Street in Vancouver.

The conversation was dominated by _

Khan’s repeated objections to her
daughter-in-law, according to Gobin.

“She was really upset about the

marriage,” Gobin recalled, “She felt
her son had been taken advantage of
by this girl.”

Gobin testified that Khan repeated
over and over how upset she was over
her son's choice of bride.

Towards the end of the 44 hour
flight. Gobin testified that she suggested Khan
accept reality.

“L said that maybe they could accept her ... as
they loved each other,” Gobin told the court.

The witness claims that Rashida Khan changed
completely at this suggestion. “An angry look came
on her face ... she said, ‘She’s nothing but a com-
mon street-walker, she’s a street girl, we will never
accept her,” Gobin recalls.

Flanz earlier told the court that Naazish was a.

successful professional model in Bombay before
she met Faisal.
