Father Muhammad the person drowned sons gets death sentence from dallas jury. So tragic story of a dad who drowned his two sons in a shallow creek is making top news headlines today, as Dallas News confirmed this Thursday, May 23, that Naim Rasool Muhammad was sentenced to death this morning by a jury, being accused of drowning his boys.
The dad who drowned sons story came about as part of an ongoing criminal trial dating back to late 2011. It was only yesterday, however, that Dallas News finally noted that the closing arguments for the case surrounding the dad who drowned sons would likely come to an end with a verdict. Now, that verdict has been made.
With deliberations lasting over three hours, Muhammad was given the death sentence after all jurors had come to the decision that the father was responsible for drowning his two sons.
According to the report, the closing remarks for this tragic case — of Muhammad, 34 years old, being sent to death row for killing his two children in a small creek — saw a shock after the mother of the defendant said that her son was no “monster,” despite being accused of murdering Naim, 5, and Elijah, 3.
“That is not a monster,” the mother yelled, jumping up from the courtroom bench. “He is my son.”
Although Naim Muhammad has been sentenced to death, there has already been mitigation made that would instead sentence the former father to life in prison without a chance for parole. His defense attorney that the man committed such a terrible act because he allegedly didn’t want his two sons growing up with the pain and struggle that he did.
Regardless of Muhammad’s reasoning, the death of a child — particularly the drowning — should never be tolerated, and leads to such a painful case for the family, the community, and prayers made out to young Naim and Elijah.
