A Chicago Muslim mother described to jurors on Tuesday how she hid in a locked bathroom and called emergency services after her landlord brutally attacked her with a knife and then fatally stabbed her young Palestinian American son in another room.

Hanan Shaheen was the first witness to give evidence at the murder and hate crime trial of Joseph Czuba, 73.
