Mohammad Solaiman sentenced to 15-years-to-life for stabbing, 'eating' his wife

[mystery]

A QUEENS man was sentenced today to 15-years-to-life for killing his wife by stabbing her more than 250 times and then allegedly eating her lungs and drinking her blood, all in front of their four-year-old daughter.
Mohammad Solaiman was sentenced today for the gruesome murder of his wife Shahida Sultanna in their Jamaica, Queens, New York home in December 2007.

Their four-year-old daughter was in the next room at the time of the incident and witnessed the bloody aftermath.

Ms Sultanna's sister, Ferdousi Begum, shuddered and bawled in court todday as she begged Solaiman to explain why he killed his wife.

"He took out her liver and her lungs and he ate it," Ms Begum wailed. "He drank her blood. Her daughter told me that."

Solaiman's lawyer John Scarpa "categorically" denied the allegation that Solaiman feasted on his wife's remains.

"He may have killed his wife but he didn't turn into a cannibal," Mr Scarpa said.

He went on to say that Solaiman suffered years of physical abuse at the hands of his wife.

"She was a very violent individual," Mr Scarpa said. "She was not a saintly woman."

Queens Supreme Court Justice Richard Buchter shot back, "Are you saying she deserved what she got?"

"It was a violent outburst under extreme emotional disturbance," Mr Scarpa replied.

Justice Buchter noted that the file on Solaiman, who never said why he killed his wife, contained no evidence the killer was abused at home.

"We do know the defendant stabbed the victim in her face, in her neck, in her torso, in her back and also in her pubic region," Justice Buchter said.

"His final act of savagery was to expose his 4-year-old daughter to the horrific murder scene to view her mother’s mutilated remains," Justice Buchter added.

Justice Buchter sentenced Solaiman to 15-years-to-life in prison after pleading guilty in March to second-degree murder. He also pleaded guilty to evidence tampering, child endangerment and weapons charges, for which he received concurrent one-year sentences.

He may be a savage killer - but he's no cannibal.

A Queens man sentenced to 15 years to life Thursday for stabbing his wife 250 times was hit with an unfounded claim that he ate the victim's organs.

The lawyer for Mohammad Solaiman was forced to deny the allegation, which prosecutors also said was untrue.

The sister-in-law of Shadida Sultana blurted out the macabre scenario during an emotional victim-impact statement in Queens Supreme Court.
"Why did he kill my sister?," she asked the judge.

"I don't know why he did this to her. He cut out her heart and her liver and ate it. He drank her blood.

"My whole family, they want to know why," she said through tears. "Are you going to ask the defendant why he did it?...She's my little baby sister."

Defense lawyer John Scarpa - already saddled with the unenviable task of seeking mercy for a man who killed in front of his 4-year-old daughter - tried to set the record straight.

"This man killed his wife," Scarpa told Queens Supreme Court Justice Richard Buchter. "He didn't turn into a cannibal."

Solaiman, 52, pleaded guilty to manslaughter earlier this year for his Dec. 22, 2007, attack on Sultana after a fight in their Jamaica home.

He stabbed her over and over while their young daughter watched. Covered in blood, he then knocked on a neighbor's door and confessed: "I just killed my wife."

In court, he turned to face his sister-in-law and said only: "I am sorry."
Scarpa claimed that Solaiman snapped and suffering through six years of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of his 32-year-old wife.

"She was not a saintly woman," Scarpa said. "This man exploded after many, many years of abuse."

But the judge wondered why Solaiman never filed a police report about the alleged abuse.

"I don't think she deserved what she got," Buchter said.

"In a final act of savagery he exposed his four-year-old daughter to this horrific murder scene," Buchter said. "If that's not savagery, I don't know what is."
