A Florida man accused of killing his teenage daughter and niece will be extradited to Virginia from New York, where he's been in custody since December.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports a New York City judge on Monday ordered 39-year-old Abdool Zaman to be turned over to Henrico County authorities. A deputy commonwealth's attorney in Henrico, Matt Ackley, confirmed the extradition was granted Monday.
Zaman is charged with second-degree murder in the Virginia deaths of Vanessa Zaman and her cousin Leona Samlall. The 18-year-olds were fatally shot on Dec. 13 and Zaman was arrested days later in Queens, New York.
