Minhas also repeatedly demanded money from his mother, Bowen said.
“She tried to give him everything he wanted, but she didn’t make very much money," Bowen told the station.
Investigators have said Minhas resented his mother’s strict parenting.
“Danish felt he was a man and he did not like the restrictions his mother had placed on him,” homicide Sgt. Brian Harris told the station in 2010.
Harris called the victim a “strict Muslim mother who followed her faith... no different from any other parent regardless of what faith or background they are, who set out rules for their children to follow.”
In a 2010 interview, Minhas told KHOU he confessed to a crime he didn’t commit and placed blame for the killing on Mohamed.
“She was the perfect mom,” he told the station. “She raised me and my sister as being a single parent. She has been both a mother and a father to us. She went beyond her duties of being a mother to take care of me.”
