Rasel Siddiquee was apprehended *at JFK trying to flee to his native Bangladesh*

KENSINGTON/DITMAS PARK – Rasel Siddiquee, 31 of Kensington, was sentenced today by Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Neil Firetog to 25 years in prison and five years’ post-release supervision following his guilty plea earlier this month to first-degree manslaughter for killing his landlord, Mahiuddin Mahmud of Ditmas Park.

The brutal murder took place on January 6, 2014 inside a basement apartment at [546 McDonald Avenue](https://maps.google.com/?q=546+McDonald+Avenue&entry=gmail&source=g) in Kensington, which Siddiquee was renting from Mahmud.

According to the District Attorney’s office, Siddiquee struck his landlord multiple times with a samurai sword over a pedicab license and then tried to flee the country. He was apprehended on January 8, 2014, at the JFK Airport after using his credit card to buy a flight ticket to Bangladesh.

Acting District Attorney Gonzalez said, “This defendant caused a tragic and completely senseless death, taking the life of a beloved businessman and a father of three. He will now serve a very long prison sentence for his brutal and violent conduct.”
