Tuesday August 23rd 2011 — and living to tell about it
Sometimes we hear a story that gives us hope. Sometimes a story will teach a valuable lesson.. or make us laugh until our stomach’s hurt. But sometimes, a story scares the crap out of us. Once in a while, we hear a story that we tell and re-tell. We stay horrified at its details, and we find ourseleves seeking understanding in each other, in our faiths and maybe most of all, in humanity.
Below is a story from the NY Post about the beautiful Nazish Noorani — I am both terrified and horrified by it.
Hubby hired mistress to kill wife in carefully orchestrated plot:
By JOSH MARGOLIN, REUVEN FENTON and CATHY BURKE -Last Updated: 9:59 AM, August 20, 2011
An abusive, two-timing husband hired his mistress to assassinate his gorgeous young wife in a cold-blooded plot hatched through a series of “chilling” texts and phone calls, authorities charged yesterday.
Kashif Parvaiz and lover Antoinette Stephen of Billerica, Mass., both 26, worked out every grisly detail of the slaying of Nazish Noorani — right down to how long it would take cops to show up at the murder scene, Morris County, NJ, prosecutors said.
On the night before Tuesday’s bloodshed, Parvaiz even stood in the spot where the slaying would take place to firm up the heinous, last-minute details.
“That this matter was allegedly so well thought out, planned, plotted and orchestrated is chilling to say the least,” said Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi.
Noorani, 27, strolling with Parvaiz and their 3-year-old son, was gunned down after a family party in Boonton to celebrate the Muslim feast of Ramadan.
Parvaiz arranged to be wounded in the attack — though not seriously — and then brazenly claimed the shooting was a bias attack by armed hate mongers.
Investigators saw through the lies almost immediately.
“Within hours of the crime, it was obvious to investigators that this was sadly the alleged handiwork of the victim’s husband,” Bianchi said.
Parvaiz originally claimed three men — one black, one white and one of an uncertain race — called the couple “terrorists” before opening fire, Capt. Jeff Paul of the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office said in court papers.
Parvaiz later claimed to detectives that three black men were responsible for the bloodshed.
Finally, Paul wrenched a dramatic hospital bedside confession from Parvaiz, who admitted he was uncontrollably angry at his wife because she made negative comments about his family, court papers said.
He claimed the slaying was an accident, that he didn’t mean for his wife to die and that he didn’t want to go to jail, the filing said.
He allegedly whined that he didn’t want to be the person responsible for looking at his kids and telling them he was the one who took away their mom.
Investigators countered that everything about the assassination plot was coldly calculated by heartless lovers.
“You hang in there. Freedom is just around ur corner,” Stephen allegedly texted Parvaiz on Aug. 12 — just four days before the slaying.
The couple had been in a romantic relationship “for a substantial period of time,” and Parvaiz turned to Stephen — and gave her money — to get rid of his wife, a law-enforcement source told The Post.
Stephen and Parvaiz agreed he would take Noorani for a walk after the family party, and that’s when she’d move in for the kill.
They finalized the arrangements in a cellphone call Tuesday at 9:30 p.m., according to the affidavit.
The shooting took place a little after 11 p.m.
Noorani, a native of Karachi, Pakistan, and Parvaiz, originally from Brooklyn, wed six years ago. A cousin called it “love at first sight” for Noorani, though her family was worried about the slick-talking Parvaiz.
I caonnt tell a lie, that really helped.
