Death penalty for Indian in twin murder?

world No Comments

Prosecutors in California’s Orange County today said they will seek the death penalty for an Indian national charged with brutally murdering his ex-girlfriend’s father and sister in 2007 over anger that the girl’s family disapproved of their relationship

Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said he would seek the death penalty against 25-year-old Iftekhar Murtaza for conspiring and murdering his Indian-American ex-girlfriend Shayona Dhanak’s father Jaypraykash Dhanak and sister Karishma as well as attempting to murder her mother Leela and setting the victims’ bodies on fire.

In March 2007, 18-year-old Shayona, a freshman at the University of California, Irvine, ended a two-year relationship with Murtaza. Apparently, the Dhanaks disapproved partly because they were practicing Hindus while Murtaza was a non-practicing Muslim, the attorney said.

Murtaza is charged with two felony counts of special circumstances murder, one felony count of attempted murder and one felony count of conspiracy to commit murder. He faces sentencing enhancements for multiple murders, murder during the commission of a burglary, murder during the commission of kidnapping and murder for financial gain. He is being held without bail and is scheduled for a pre-trial hearing later today at Santa Ana, California.

Murtaza held Shayona’s parents responsible for the break-up because they did not like him and had pressured her to end the relationship, the OCDA said.

After the break-up, Murtaza contacted his friends co-defendants Vitaliy Krasnoperov, 24, and Charles Anthony Murphy Jr, 25, and discussed ways to murder Shayona’s parents, including burning their house down or using a hit man.

Krasnoperov is accused of offering to contact someone whom he knew “used to do this type of work”. Murtaza allegedly offered Murphy USD 30,000 “for a job”.

The defendants are accused of entering the Dhanaks’ home in May 2007 and forcibly restraining Jaypraykash (56), who was beaten, stabbed repeatedly and put in a bathroom while Murtaza waited for his wife and daughter to arrive home. Later that night, when Karishma (20) reached home, the defendants forcibly detained her. Leela Dhanak (54) too was attacked and stabbed in the stomach.

Murtaza and his friends then allegedly doused the Dhanaks Anaheim Hills residence in gasoline, lighting fire to the house. Shayona was then living in the campus dorms. According to witnesses, the defendants put Jaypraykash and Karishma in the back of a van and fled from the scene.

The father and daughter were taken to a bike trail at Mason Regional Park in Irvine and murdered. Their bodies were set on fire with gasoline by the defendants, the OCDA said. Murtaza was arrested attempting to board a flight to India and was later extradited back to Orange County on June 13, 2007.

Buy Car, In a Jiffy

Well I always wanted to buy cars in a blink, but I am again always forced to reality saying that I need finance to buy a car. Unfortunately at the times of recession you do not get your loans granted easily.

But I came to know from my colleague that there are some specialized loans like Pink Slip Loans watch open season 2 in divx which is a speedy financial assistance, given by very few corps when you are in a blind need of money. And there is always the Collateral Loans

which are secured loans obtained by pledging a piece of a property for a loan grant.

This became more interesting when i knew about Car Title Loans, which made my day. Now the catch part is that, though loans are available, getting them becomes difficult because of our credit, very few companies are lienent about it. And these companies which offers the loans as i mentioned above are the ones which are very customer focused, thus making our life easier.

I couldn’t beleive it, untill i learnt from their site that one can actually buy a car in an hour. The process being very simple, Apply online, get instant approval, get cash within one hour and then its your car to buy.

I am so amazed by the simplicity, the level of customer service and the quality of work they perform. I’d give two thumbs up for the easy car title loans they give.
