Jersey City Man Indicted For Beheading Two


Yusuf Ibrahim (New Jersey State Police)

A Jersey City man has been indicted on charges of fatally shooting two men in a parked car, then cutting off their heads in February 2013.

29-year-old Yusuf Ibrahim was arrested on February 10th, 2013 after he allegedly shot 25-year-old Hanny Tawadros and 27-year-old Amgad Konds in their chests during an argument in a Mercedes Benz, the Star-Ledger reports. Their bodies were found buried in a shallow grave nearby, with another grave containing their heads and hands.

Ibrahim has been indicted on several counts of murder, felony murder, kidnapping, robbery and desecrating human remains, among others. He faces up to two life sentences and is being held on $3.5 million bail.

The indictment came just hours after Ibrahim was arraigned for robbing a man and shooting him in the foot in 2012.

Jersey City man accused of killing, decapitating 2 men pleads not guilty

The Jersey City man charged with fatally shooting two men and then decapitating and dismembering them pleaded not guilty to those charges in court earlier this afternoon.

Yusuf Ibrahim, 29, appeared at around 2:30 p.m. in front of Judge Mitzy Galis-Menendez in the Hudson County Administration Building and showed no emotion as lawyers briefly filled the judge in with case details.

Ibrahim was charged last year with shooting Hanny F. Tawadros, 25, and Amgad A. Konds, 27, during an argument inside a Mercedes Benz belonging to one of the victims on Feb. 5, 2013, officials said.

Two days later, police received a report of suspicious activity at a home in Buena Vista Township in Atlantic County. Detectives searching the area with cadaver dogs found the victims buried in shallow graves and their heads and hands buried nearby.

During the investigation, police learned Ibrahim had driven the Mercedes to Philadelphia after the murders and attempted to set it on fire, but was interrupted by local police. He was later tracked by State Police to a Bayonne apartment, officials said.

On April 28, Ibrahim was indicted on two counts each of murder, felony murder, kidnapping, robbery and desecrating human remains, as well as numerous other crimes related to the murders and mutilation of the bodies. He faces up to two life sentences on the murder charges.

Ibrahim’s bail was set at $3.3 million, cash-only, for the two murder charges and the charge of desecrating human remains.

Today, Deputy Attorney Generals Philip Mogavero and Vincent J. Militello presented a 60-count indictment against Ibrahim to the judge, noting that the most serious charges were first-degree murder, felony murder, kidnapping and robbery.

They told Galis-Menendez that they were offering Ibrahim a plea bargain of 60 years in prison before parole eligibility, if he were to plead guilty to the charges.

Ibrahim's lawyer, Thomas Campbell, entered a plea of not guilty.

Hudson County Assistant Prosecutor Angela Gingerelli was also present in the courtroom, as she is handling a first-degree carjacking charge that has also been levied against Ibrahim from an incident on Sept. 19, 2012.

In that incident, Ibrahim allegedly followed a man to his car at Yale and Mallory avenues, attacked him and stole his car, officials said.

Galis-Menendez scheduled a status conference for June 16, telling the lawyers she wanted to know of any motions they planned to file on that date.

That is also the date on which Ibrahim will get a trial date for the carjacking charge if that charge is not resolved before then, she told Gingerelli.

A northern New Jersey man who is accused of shooting two men in a parked car in Jersey City, cutting off their heads and hands and burying them in Buena Vista Township in February 2013 pleaded guilty Wednesday to an unrelated armed robbery, acting Attorney General John Hoffman said.

Yusuf Ibrahim, 29, of Jersey City, admitted in Superior Court Wednesday that he shot a man in the foot with a handgun, pistol-whipped him and robbed him of his money and cellphone during a robbery in Jersey City in September 2012. He pleaded guilty to armed robbery, aggravated assault and weapons offenses. His plea agreement recommends he be sentenced to 15 years in state prison with parole eligibility after 13 years.

He pleaded guilty Sept. 30 to a robbery charge in a December 2011 carjacking. He faces seven years in state prison on that charge, to run consecutively with his armed robbery sentence.

Charges are pending against Ibrahim in the deaths of Hany Tawadros, 25, and Amgad Konds, 27, in Febraury 2013. The state alleges Ibrahim shot the men in the chest inside Konds' white Mercedes after abducting them in the car in Jersey City. He then allegedly drove the bodies to Buena Vista Township, where he disposed of their remains in a wooded area by the unoccupied home of a relative, cutting off their heads and hands, knocking out their front teeth with a tire iron, and stealing their money and jewelry.

In that case, Ibrahim was charged April 28 with murder, felony murder, kidnapping, robbery, desecrating human remains and other charges.

A Jersey City man who is already facing charges for allegedly killing and beheading two men, was sentenced to 18 years in prison last week for two unrelated robberies, Acting Attorney General John Jay Hoffman announced.

Yusuf Ibrahim, 30, of Jersey City, will be ineligible for parole for the first 15 years of his 18-year sentence, which he received from Hudson County Superior Court Judge Mitzy Galis-Menendez on Thursday.

Back on October 8, Ibrahim pleaded guilty to an armed robbery on the night of Sept. 19, 2012, admitted that he used a handgun to shoot a man in the foot and pistol-whipped him before stealing his money and cell phone, officials said.

The charges that came with the Attorney General’s indictment included robbery, aggravated assault and weapons offenses and Ibrahim pleaded guilty to all of the offenses against him, authorities said.

Furthermore, back on September 30, Ibrahim pleaded guilty to a Dec. 22, 2011 Jersey City carjacking, which he also received his sentencing for on January 8.

Ibrahim received a 12-year sentence with 10 years parole ineligibility for the 2012 offense, as well as a six-year sentence with over five years of parole ineligibility, court documents show.

He now awaits the results of pending murder charges, allegedly shooting Egyptian nationals Hany Tawadros, 25, and Amgad Konds, 27, in the chest with a .38 caliber handgun on Feb. 5, 2013 in Jersey City after abducting them in Konds’ Mercedes C280.

Ibrahim is accused of then driving the bodies to Buena Vista in Buena, New Jersey, where he cut off their heads and hands and knocked out with their teeth with a tire iron to hinder identification of the bodies before burying them in a wooded area behind an unoccupied relative’s home, officials said.

The April 28, 2014 grand jury indictment in the case charges Ibrahim with two counts each of murder, f felony murder, kidnapping, robbery, desecration of human remains, and various other crimes associated with the alleged murder and mutilation of the two bodies.
