Muzzammil 'Mo' Hassan is a Pakistani-American man who gained national attention in the United States after being convicted of the murder of his wife, Aasiya Hassan, in 2009. The case was widely covered in the media due to the details surrounding the crime and the couple's background. Muzzammil and Aasiya Hassan were married in 1993, and together they co-founded the Bridges TV network in 2004, which was created to provide a positive portrayal of Muslims in the media.

However, their marriage faced difficulties, and Aasiya had filed for divorce just days before her death. On February 12, 2009, Muzzammil Hassan brutally murdered his wife, Aasiya, in the office of their television network in Buffalo, New York. He allegedly beheaded her, and after the murder, he walked into a police station and confessed to the crime. During his trial, it was revealed that Muzzammil had been abusive toward Aasiya, and there were claims of her seeking divorce due to his behavior. Muzzammil Hassan was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.

In 2011, he was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. The case drew attention to issues of domestic violence, especially in immigrant communities, and sparked discussions on the intersection of culture, religion, and abuse.
