Judge hands down death sentences to daughter, ‘hitman’ over Ruby businessman’s murder

Bibi Nazeela Habiboodean

Bibi Nazeela Habiboodean and the man she hired to kill her father were yesterday both sentenced to death by High Court Judge Sandil Kissoon, who described the savage beating the septuagenarian victim endured as reprehensible.

76-year-old Habiboodean (only name), formerly of Lot 111 Ruby, East Bank Essequibo (EBE), was beaten to death at his home on February 15, 2008. He would succumb to his injuries a day later at the Woodlands Hospital.

Bibi Nazeela and her accomplice Linden Lewis, called ‘Bullet,’ were seemingly shocked after the announcement from the foreman that they had been found guilty of the capital offence. They were, however, overcome by visible signs of distress after the marshall read them each their death sentence.
