On Monday December 22nd 2008, the jury deliberating my sister's murder trial returned a unanimous verdict very quickly of "GUILTY" of murder.
It was fully concluded that Mr. Westley Ibe was a cold, callous calculating murderer who showed absolutely no remorse.
During the trial Mr. Ibe would wink, smile and put his thumbs up to his family and friends in the public gallery. He would joke with his guard - but most disgustingly he and his junior defense lawyer would be laughing and joking in front of his victims family. His junior defense lawywer even yelled out to him football scores in the courtroom in front of the victims family as soon as the judge left. The prosecution police prrsent and the same defense lawyer initially defended this action as necessary "client rapport" building after I complained about it. Eventually, the police agreed and the defense lawyer also apologized for his loathsome, pathetic and quite evil behaviour in the courtroom.
Mr. Ibe was sentenced to a minimum sentence of 22 years - almost 2 years of which has already been served awaiting trial after his defense lawyers managed to successfully delay a trial for two years after he handed himself in. In 2030, Mr Ibe will be able to apply for an application for consideration to be released.
I'm happy the judge and jury saw through this liar.
I wish he could be punished by electric chair or injection with my sister's family as an audience as would have occurred in the States.
In 20 years time my sisters sons would all be around 30 years old and Mr. Ibe would be 50 years old.
Mr. Ibe was lucky. I remain convinced that he preplanned the murder due to his veiled threats to my sister 2 weeks prior. If the charge would have been for preplanned murder he would have got an extra 15 years.
I unfortunately missed the verdict having been forced to stay up the night prior to solve work issues in Atlanta. I didn't expect a verdict until Tuesday and so decided to miss out on Monday at court. I now deeply regret missing Monday - but my mother went ans well as my sister's friend Sonia - and they let me know all that occurred.

Execution by Electric Chair - Mr. Westley Anthony Ibe
PA-Daily:
"Sat Dec 21 08, Washington DC, USA.
A group of legal experts have discussed with the extended American family of Janet Hossain, the possibility of extradition of her killer, Westley Anthony Ibe, for a re-trial for Murder in the USA.
If convicted of murder in the States, Mr. Ibe would face death by lethal injection or by electric chair with an audience consisting of Ms. Hossain's family.
Such a move was considered highly unlikely due to the fact that under current legal precedent, Ms. Hossain would normally be required to be a US citizen at the time of death in order to begin proceedings.
Mr. Ibe had been diagnosed with organic bipolar disorder and it is this condition that has been reasoned to be a probable factor for his actions by his defence lawyers. The prosecution lawyers together with supportive psychiatric reports demonstrate, however, that since there was evidence of planning coupled with detailed acts of deception, that his bipolar condition was under control sufficiently to cause Mr. Ibe to be guilty of murder in this slaying. Furthermore, it may be noted that there have been a great many bipolar individuals that have been fully convicted of murder and have not been able to use their condition as an excuse for their actions.
Ms. Hossain's American extended family are, however, considering all options with respect to bringing about a US transfer and a re-trial leading to Mr. Ibe's execution."

Clearing Some Issues
Bismillaah, Wal humdulillaah
Uss Salawaatu Wass Salaam 'alun nabeey.
I'd like to try and clear some issues that have been discussed amongst many Muslims in London regarding my sister's death - may Allaah have mercy upon her - ameen.
It has been stated (by some from the Brixton community) that my sister may have died a kaafir. And I noted that none of the Brixton Muslim community (her community) came to her janaazah except for her ex-husband and one other brother.
Alhumdullaah, atleast 3000 other Muslims did attend her janaazah.
You should note the following.
It is reported from a strong witness that magic was performed on my sister making her lose her senses for some time.
This caused her to deviate.
However - I was fortunate to visit London after over a year just weeks before she was killed.
My sister asked me many details questions about the nature of qadr and revelation.
I discussed how she would want to die and go before Allaah. She testified to me that she believed in Allaah and his Messenger and that she believed in the Qur'an.
She told my mother that she was going to start wearing her hijaab again. And she told one friend of her's that our conversation was a catalyst to bring her back to practising Islaam.
I came to my attention that people were being told not to come to her janaazah in the Brixton Community because tarot cards were found in her house. Subhaanallaah! I have a bible - does that make me a Christian?
For those who made takfir - the hadeeth is well known.
And for those who oppress - fear the dua of the oppressed.

The Killing of Janet Hossain
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Full of Mercy, The Most Generous in Mercy
Verily All Praise is due Allaah
We Praise Him, and we seek His Help and Forgiveness
We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our souls and our evil actions
He whom Allaah guides - none can lead astray
And he whom Allaah leads astray - none can guide.
I bear witness that there is nothing worthy of worship, no god in truth, except Allaah - alone with no partner.
And I bear witness that Muhammed is His servant and His messenger.
My sister - Janet Yasmin Hossain - May Allaah have Mercy upon her - was born in London England on the 20th of October 1974 (3rd of Shawwaal 1394). She died in London on Friday the 20th of April 2007 (2nd Rabi Ath-Thaani 1428).
My sister was born in the month of Shawwaal - Shawwaal means ‘light and vigorous’ and that truly fit her character. She died in the month of Rabi Ath-Thaani which means ‘The second spring’ - the nature of which I hope she is now enjoying - ameen.
My sister died on a Friday at the (Islamic) age of thirty three years old.
The Prophet - Sallalaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam - informed us that we will be raised again at the age of 33 years old. The Prophet - Sallalaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam - also informed us that Allaah will not punish with the punishment of the grave whoever died on a Friday.
Maasha’Allaah.
HER LIFE
At the tender age of 16 - my sister adopted the pure unadulterated orthodox authentic way of Islaam according to the Qur’aan, the Sunnah as understood by the Companions and the first generations of the Muslims.
She went to study circles and studies hard, taking notes and memorising and understanding.
She corrected me on recitation issues of tanween and on Quranic recitation melody. She corrected me on the issues of salah with regards to where the eyes should focus and at what point after the imaam one should follow. I have in turn informed many more around the world - the reward of which inshaAllaah she will get.
At the age of 19 my sister got married.
Subhaanallaah - I have never witnessed such a good wife in that she cleaned, ironed, cooked and performed all of her wifely duties better than any other muslim sister today that I know of. I do not say this as an exagerrating and emotional brother - but as a truthful Muslim relaying to you what I have truly witnessed.
Her marriage bore four wonderful children - 3 boys and 1 girl whom my sister truly cherished.
She was such a loving mother, always cooking the best food for her children and giving them the best clothes. She never beat any of her children. And her children loved her dearly. Her kitchen was always full of cakes, drinks, food and other items that the children would enjoy.
Myself and my parents called her a Janet. The general Muslims called her Yasmin.
Her first child was born when she was 20 years old, he was named Ubaidullah - henceforth she was also called Umm Ubaidullah.
She never called me Abdullaah or Robin. She only referred to me as ‘bruv’.
One of the warmest things I was informed by one of her close friends after she died was that she would boast “My Bruv, he’s a proper Muslim! Proper!”. Her children also stated that she would often boast about her brother to many people - “My bruvver, he knows everything about computers” - “My bruvver, he’s soo handsome!”. Subhaanallaah - may Allaah reward her with good - ameen.
Our mother was so happy with her. Shortly before she died, they had gone to a local convenient store together. Our mother had put an item in the wrong place and the store attendee had told my mother of. My mother was so happy that my sister immediately jumped forth and came straight to the store worker and rebuked her and told her that she better not talk to her mother like that. Our mum is so happy with her for her defending her honour and for her general goodness.
And indeed the Messenger of Allaah - Sallalaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam - said that Paradise lies under the feet of your mother (weak narration - but true in meaning). So again, my sister was very fortunate in this regard.
All those who knew her well, loved her immensely and miss her tremendously.
HER DEATH
My sister was brutally murdered by strangulation - may Allaah have mercy upon her and forgive her and grant her a good place in Jannah - ameen.
The murderer robbed the world of a beautiful mother, daughter and sister. She was no longer married at the time of her death.
She was murdered, put in a laundry bag and dumped in the trunk of her car. The car was left in a parking lot and found 6 days later - wa laa howla wa laa quuwata illa billaah.
Due to this being a murder enquiry, the body could not be immediately released and the janazah date is still unknown.
The killer - Westley Ibe - is to stand trial for murder. Next court date is set for August 3rd 2007.
Lies were fabricated by ‘The Sun’ newspaper and then copied by the Daily Mail newspaper. The Sun newspaper wanted to attract attention by printing a false and filthy story about a Muslim girl.
My sister was found in the trunk of her car wearing her leather jacket, her shoes, her trousers, her jumper.. there was no other activity besides strangulation.
Many Muslims who knew my sister will find this a deep time of regret.
My sister was oppressed by many Muslim brothers and sisters. This petite baby sister was oppressed, backbitten, slandered and even physically threatened by Muslims. And many Muslim brothers and sisters from the London Muslim community behaved as if they themselves were ‘sin free’ - they caused other Muslims to break contact with her by repeating lies and distortions - eventually leaving her in isolation.
They cannot ask her forgiveness anymore.
A person who claims to be Muslim may vary between Mu’min or monster - and most of us suffer from tremendous hypocrisy - wa na authu billaah.
DREAMS
A few days before my sister’s death - an old friend of hers had a dream. In the dream, she saw a Muslim Sister with long hair in a state of terror. She then dreampt that the sister was murdered. The sister who dreampt this wanted to call my sister but didn’t. They hadn’t been in touch for some time. Days later, this sister heard of my sister’s death and then she knew the meaning of her dream.
A week after my sister’s death, our mother also had a dream about her. Our mother dreampt that she was wearing an obaya and walking in a huge garden full of wondrous soft beautiful grass. In the distance were fine trees of varying height. She dreampt that my sister was walking around peacefully. In her dream, dawn was about to break - it was not light yet.
THE BARRIER BETWEEN DEATH AND RESURRECTION
Indeed Allaah’s Mercy precedes His Wrath - and we hope for His Mercy for my sister and for us - ameen.
My sister was deeply loved by Aisha Abdul Malik and Sirat Abdul Malik. These two were husband and wife originally from New York, but residing in London - who helped bring my sister to the pure authentic orthodox Islaam.
Both Aisha and Sirat - died around 1995 - may Allaah have mercy upon them - ameen.
The Prophet - Sallalaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam - informed us that after the Angel(s) of death take the soul of the Believer up to the first heaven. The gates of the first heaven are then opened. The soul then travels higher into paradise until it reaches Illyuun. When the soul comes through, previously deceased believing souls rush excitedly to meet it and ask many questions about those still alive - then some sould remind the others that this newly arrived soul needs to rest.
I hope that my sister, and Aisha and Sirat and my sister’s grandmother (who my sister was looked after when a child) - (may Allaah have mercy upon them) are together in goodness, love and comfort - ameen.
When the burial takes place, my sister’s soul will be returned to her ‘body’ - this ‘body’ - together with her physical body that we know will be together in her grave. She will hear the thud of footsteps of those leaving the grave. She may also be comforted by the presence of the pious and her family near her grave. At that time, two angels of a frightening blue and black complexion will come to her in this parallel world connected to her grave. These angels will sit her spiritual body up in the grave although her physical body will remain as is. Her spiritual body will see a sun in the distance and will see these frightening looking angels. These angels will question her about her Lord, her way of Life and her acceptance of Muhammed - Sallalaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam.
At this time the Muslims are able to help her. The Prophet - Sallalaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam - advised that after burying the body and filling the grave - we should stand a short distance away and make dua for the deceased to pass the questioning of the angels. The prophet - Sallalaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam - said that we should make due for the time it takes to slaughter a camel and distribute its meat. In my estimation, this is about an hour.
PLEASE COME TO THE JANAAZAH and THE BURIAL to make dua for her success and forgiveness. If you knew her well, then you will know that this will be the best help that you could give her now - especially if you had wronged her in the past.
ALSO please help ensure that the slanderous lies of The Sun and The Daily Mail do not go unpunished.
AND ALSO, please let it be known that her MURDER must NEVER go unpunished.
If she had ever done anything wrong to you - then I implore you to forgive her, as which of us are free from the need of forgiveness.
“Oh Allaah - forgive her and show her mercy - give her well being and pardon her.
Honour her abode and make her entry spacious
Wash her with water, ice and hail.
Cleanse her from her sins as a white garment would be cleansed from dirt
Substitute for her, her house with a better house and admit her into Jannah
And shelter her from the punishment of the grave and the punishment of the Fire. “(extracted from Sahih Muslim)
Verily All Praise is due Allaah
We Praise Him, and we seek His Help and Forgiveness
We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our souls and our evil actions
He whom Allaah guides - none can lead astray
And he whom Allaah leads astray - none can guide.
I bear witness that there is nothing worthy of worship, no god in truth, except Allaah - alone with no partner.
And I bear witness that Muhammed is His servant and His messenger.
