Iftekhar Murtaza, now 29, took the witness stand Tuesday in his murder trial. He told jurors he was upset when his then-18-year-old girlfriend Shayona Dhanak told him in March 2007 that her parents had threatened to cut her off financially and stop paying her college tuition if she didn't split with him.
Murtaza testified that he went home, took Ecstasy and started chatting online with a friend about how the couple had broken up and he wished her parents were dead. He said Dhanak said her mother, who is Hindu, had told her that his Muslim family came from a line of "beggars and servants."
