Nearly three years after a father and daughter were set ablaze and the mother, Dhanak, had her throat slit, details surrounding one of Orange County's most notorious cases are surfacing.[Iftekhar] Murtaza, 25, of Van Nuys, and his two friends — Vitaliy Krasnoperov, 24, of West Hollywood and Charles Anthony Murphy Jr., 25, of Mission Hills — remain behind bars.The trio of suspects is accused of killing Jayprakash Dhanak, 56, and Karishma Dhanak, 20, the father and sister of Shayona Dhanak, Murtaza's former girlfriend. ...The prosecutor, Senior Deputy District Attorney Howard Gundy, said a dispute over religion was at the core of the crime.Shayona Dhanak's parents disapproved of her nearly three-year relationship with Murtaza, who was Muslim. Murtaza was angry with the Dhanaks, who are devout Hindus, for interfering with his relationship, according to court records. The couple broke up several weeks before the slayings. Gundy said Murtaza wanted to kill Shayona Dhanak's family so she would have no one left but him.One problem today's youth face in living up to the high marks set by past generations at committing a high volume of crimes is that they are so addicted to electronic communications that they leave digital trails everywhere, making it hardly worth their while to break the law.

The cops traced the calls and came down hard on the friends a few hours later, and they rolled over on him. He was arrested the day after his crime.
