This might no be any news Nargis Fakhri herself but it involves Nargis Fakhri’s family. The actress’ sister, Aliya Fakhri, has landed in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. She is accused of a double murder in New York that’s sending shockwaves through fans and family alike.
Nargis Fakhir’s sister Aliya faces Murder Accusations
Aliya Fakhri stands accused of setting a two-story garage in Queens, New York, ablaze, resulting in the tragic deaths of her ex-boyfriend Edward Jacobs and his friend Anastasia Star Ettienne. Prosecutors aren’t holding back, describing the incident as a cold, calculated act of vengeance. Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz minced no words, saying, “This defendant maliciously ended the lives of two people by setting a fire that trapped a man and woman in a raging inferno,” adding that the victims succumbed to smoke inhalation and severe burns, as reported by Daily News.
Aliya, who’s been denied bail, now faces murder charges, with authorities alleging that her actions were premeditated.
Family Speaks Out: A Mother’s Heartbreak
While Nargis has chosen to stay tight-lipped about the controversy, their mother has stepped forward to defend her daughter. In a heartfelt plea, she expressed disbelief over the accusations. “I don’t think she would be killing someone. She was a person who was caring for everybody. She tried to help everybody,” as reported by various news outlets.
The Ex-Factor: Love Turned Tragedy?
Reports reveal a tumultuous backstory. Aliya and Edward had broken up over a year ago, but witnesses allege she couldn’t move on. Despite their split, Edward’s mother confirmed that Aliya continued to pursue him, even though he had moved on.
The fire’s sole witness shared harrowing details, painting a grim picture of a toxic relationship.“…We had to jump over it to escape. Star jumped over with me, but then she went back in to save [Jacobs]. It was an abusive relationship. She had told everyone before that she was going to burn his house down, that she was going to kill him. We just laughed it off,” the witness revealed.
Nargis Stays Mum, Focuses on Work
