Man gets 25 years for murdering landlord with sword
A Brooklyn man was sentenced to 25 years in prison Thursday for nearly decapitating his landlord with a samurai sword before trying to flee the country.
Supreme Court Justice Neil Firetog sentenced a stone-faced Rasel Siddiquee to the more than two-decade prison term in about five minutes, after Siddiquee pleaded guilty to manslaughter earlier this month.
The widow of Siddiquee’s victim burst into tears as Siddiquee was escorted into the Brooklyn Supreme Courtroom.
