[1] Muhammad Syed pleads no contest to two second-degree murder charges – Muhammad was arrested for a string of murders of Muslim men in Albuquerque in 2022. Earlier this year he was convicted in the killing Aftab Hussein. Tuesday, Syed pled no contest to the killings of Muhammad Afzaal Hussain and Naeem Hussain. Syed is expected to be sentenced sometime in the next two months. The 30-year sentence Syed agreed to in Tuesday’s plea will be served at the same time as his sentence for the first killing. That case hasn’t been sentenced yet but Syed faces life in prison.
