Nargis Fakhri's sister Aliya Fakhri has been arrested in New York for allegedly killing her ex-boyfriend and his new partner. According to reports, Aliya set a two-storey garage on fire out of jealousy, brutally killing 33-year-old Anastasia 'Star' Ettienne and 35-year-old Edward Jacobs. The victims died from smoke inhalation and thermal injuries. District Attorney Melinda Katz commented on the matter, stating that Aliya "maliciously ended the lives of two people by setting a fire that trapped a man and woman in a raging inferno."
Aliya's mother has defended her daughter, stating that she doesn't believe Aliya would be capable of killing someone. She revealed that Aliya struggled with opioid addiction after a dental mishap and was a caring person who tried to help everyone. Jacobs' mother also reacted to the incident, revealing that her son was a plumber working on the property to convert the garage into an apartment. She also clarified that Jacobs and Ettienne were friends, not lovers.
An eyewitness revealed that they smelled something sweet burning and saw the couch on the stairs on fire. They also stated that Ettienne had previously threatened to burn Jacobs' house down and kill him, but they had laughed it off. The eyewitness described the relationship between Ettienne and Jacobs as abusive. Aliya's trial is currently underway in Queens Criminal Court, with her mother's defense and the eyewitness's statement shedding more light on the incident.
As the trial continues, Nargis Fakhri's fans are waiting for an official statement from the actress. Meanwhile, Aliya's mother's defense and the eyewitness's statement have raised more questions about the incident. The case has sparked a heated debate about domestic violence, opioid addiction, and the complexities of human relationships.
