A 26-year-old allegedly
stabbed his father to death in
their Dyker Heights home on
the morning of April 15, causing
a crime scene so horrifi c
that police initially suspected
the son had eaten his father’s
dead body.
“It’s one of the worst crime
scenes I’ve ever seen. He was
missing body parts — we don’t
know where they are,” one
high-ranking cop said.
The suspect, Khaled Ahmad,
allegedly went into a
Dyker Heights bagel shop
sometime before 4:20 am on
April 15, and told cops that he
had killed his father, according
to another law enforcement
source, who also fl oated
the later-debunked cannibalism
theory.
“The suspect went up to
two offi cers that were at the
bagel shop and he told them
he killed his father. I was informed
COURIER L 12 IFE, APRIL 24-30, 2020
that he ate his father
as well,” the source said.
Police went to the victim’s
house on 84th Street near 14th
Avenue — a well-groomed,
quiet block of Dyker Heights
— where they found the grisly
scene.
Upon their arrival, offi -
cers saw 57-year-old Imad Ahmad,
unconscious and unresponsive,
with multiple stab
wounds to his body. The body
was also mutilated, cops said.
First responders pronounced
the victim dead at
the scene. The younger man
was taken into custody.
The 26-year-old is said to
be unemployed and had been
sheltering in place at the
home. One law enforcement
source said he had a history of
emotional disturbance.
“They were quiet neighbors,
I’ve seen the kids every
now and again,” said one
resident who asked not to be
named, a 20-year resident of
the block. “He always had a
hat and suit on. I’m shocked to
be out here this morning with
my coffee and see they have it
roped off.”
“I just saw him three days
ago. I am sad to know that he’s
gone,” said Mansor Hassan,
54, also a neighbor of the family.
The suspect is charged
with murder and criminal
possession of weapon, according
to a police spokesperson
The investigation remains
ongoing, however, as of Thursday,
April 16, cops on the case
had reportedly ruled out initial
suspicions of cannibalism,
according to the New
York Daily News.
