Jamaica Hills
Murderer sentenced
for 2016 slaying
A Jamaica man may be spending the
rest of his life in prison aft er being sentenced
on Dec. 11 for the 2016 murder
of a Jamaica Hills woman, prosecutors
announced.
Yonatan Galvez-Marin of Normal
Road received 25 years to life for killing
Nazma Khanam on the night of Aug.
31, 2016, according to Queens District
Attorney Richard A. Brown.
Khanam was walking on Normal
Road a few steps ahead of her husband
Shamul Alam Khan, when the defendant
suddenly approached her and demanded
money from the woman, according
to the Brown’s offi ce.
Law enforcement sources said that
Khanam refused to give the defendant
what he wanted and moments later was
stabbed once in the chest with a kitchen
knife, and Galvez-Marin fl ed, according
