Muzzammil Hassan was charged with second-degree murder after police found the decapitated body of his wife, Aasiya Hassan, at the Bridges TV station in the Buffalo suburb of Orchard Park, said Andrew Benz, Orchard Park’s police chief. Aasiya Hassan  filed for divorce January 6, and police had responded to several domestic violence calls at the couple’s home, Benz said.
