So, this kid is about to hire a high school student as a hitman to unalive his own mom. This is crazy! Now, his name's Donish; he's 17, a senior in high school, and he is a perfect student.
He's on the honor roll, he's class president, he's the principal's student helper—he's smart, he's popular, all that. But Donish has a problem: his mom, who we'll just call "Mom. " Now, Mom, she's very religious and therefore very strict.
While she works hard to make sure he has nice clothes, his own car, his own credit card, and pretty much whatever he wants, she also expects him to follow her rules. She's an immigrant parent, so you know she pushes him hard to succeed. He has an 8 PM curfew, he's limited in how often he can see his friends outside of school, stuff like that.
While this may sound like somewhat normal parenting rules to us, to Donish, this is a dictatorship, and he can't live under this fascism. So, this really pisses him off. I mean, he's just trying to live his 17-year-old life and hang out with his friends.
He starts to get bitter; he is sick of her trying to control him. One day, it all starts to go downhill because he goes and tells his mom that he wants to apply for this internship at the Houston Police Department because, I guess, he's considering a career in law enforcement. Of course, Mom isn't happy about this idea.
I mean, she wants him to go into medicine. Regardless, Donish applies for the police department internship and gets an interview. But now there's an issue: he's 17, so he needs his mom to sign the paperwork that gives him permission.
He brings her the paperwork, and of course they start fighting about it. It's a really big argument. At some point, Donish has had enough, and he just snaps; he decides to get rid of his controlling mother for good.
And how's he going to do that? Well, he's going to hire a hitman. Here's the problem with that, though: he's in high school, and he doesn't really know any hitmen.
But he kind of knows this one guy from school who's in his Spanish class, and this guy's name is "N. " N deals drugs, he's in a gang, and he's a little bit shady. Donish thinks maybe N will do it.
So, Donish approaches N in Spanish class one day and he's like, "Hey, would you unalive my mom for me? " N is like, "Nah, bro," but Donish keeps pressing him on it. He tells him that his mom is abusive, that she's not even his real mom, and that she had his real parents assassinated—none of which is true.
But most importantly, Donish offers N $5,000. Upon hearing this, N is like, "Alright. " So then, fast forward to the day of the crime: it's morning.
Donish and N are in school, but they leave early. Donish drives them to his apartment, opens the trunk, and gives N a pair of blue latex gloves and a knife. Shortly after, N is sneaking inside the apartment, and Mom is there.
I guess she doesn't see him because kaboom! He grabs her from behind and takes the knife; he starts stabbing her over and over again. There's a struggle, and Mom fights back, but N is stronger than her, and he ends up stabbing her 48 times until she's unalive.
During all that chaos, the knife had slipped and cut N's thumb pretty badly. Now that cut will become important later. So then, Donish picks N up and drives him to their other friend's house.
There, Donish calls 911 and tells them that his friend N cut himself while carving a turkey, because it's the week of Thanksgiving, and no one is going to ask questions about him carving a turkey. So then N goes to the hospital and gets stitches on that cut on his hand, while Donish leaves and takes some girl out on a first date. Like, bro's mom just died, and he's out here trying to smash.
But anyway, he takes this date to the movies and then over to another town. Donish ends up being out all night on this date, I guess. Then, in the early morning, he finally goes home where his mom's body is still laying there.
This is where he pretends to discover her, pretends to be shocked, pretends to cry, and calls 911. "You don't know what happened? No, no, I just got in from going—I just walked up this morning.
" Pretty quickly, police arrive and they investigate. They notice a few things: one, there's no sign of forced entry; two, there's someone's bloody handprint on the doorknob; and three, Donish doesn't have any of his mom's blood on him. Now, this is apparently unusual because generally when people find the body of a loved one, they immediately panic and try to touch them, shake them, or hug them to see if they're still alive.
That tends to get blood on them. Clearly, Donish didn't do any of that with his mom because he's the one who set up the murder. So, police are suspicious of him.
They take him in and question him, and they also notice that something is a little off about his 911 call from that day. In his 911 call, he gave away his alibi without the operator even asking him. "You don't know what happened?
No, no, I just got in; I just got—" From G: apparently, that's a very common thing that guilty people do. Like, when a killer calls 911, they will often just vomit out their alibi without being asked. Like, “Ah, it wasn't me!
I was hanging out at Chuck E. Cheese the whole time. ” That's basically what he did.
So, police are looking at this dude like, “Yeah, you definitely had something to do with this. ” Regardless, police test the bloody handprint on the doorknob, and it's not a match for Donish, so they're still very suspicious of him. But with no evidence, they have to let him go, and he essentially gets away with having his own mother unalived until one day police officers show up to the high school.
They find Nur and suddenly pull him out of class, and bam, they arrest him. But they arrest him on a drug charge, and the drug charge is completely unrelated to the murder. Police don't even know Nur is involved in any murder; they're arresting him for drugs, and he is panicking.
He's sitting there thinking, “Oh sh! The police are here! They know what I did!
They know that I'm the one who unalived Danish's mom! What am I going to do? I'm probably going to go to jail!
Is there anyone who can help me out of this? ” But then he thinks back to his partner in crime, Donish. Maybe Donish can help him.
So, as the officers are escorting Nur out of the school, he yells back to his friends, “Tell Donish! Tell Donish to give me a call! Tell Donish I’m going to jail!
” Because Nur thinks this is about the murder. So now, police know he's somehow connected to Donish. The police bring him in, and they notice that for some weird reason, he's wearing one glove.
So, they ask him to take the glove off, and he does. He’s still got stitches on his hand from where he cut himself during the crime, and they ask him what happened. Nur's like, “I cut my thumb carving turkey.
” And police are like, “Sure you did, Nur. ” From there, they connect the dots back to Mom's murder case. So then they test Nur's DNA, and of course, his DNA is a match for the blood that they found on the doorknob.
From there, Nur doesn't even put up a fight; like, he doesn't even try to. He immediately starts confessing and tells police everything—that Donish hired him as a hitman to unalive his mom and that he promised to pay him $5,000. So bam, Donish gets arrested.
Here's his mugshot; also, here's Nur's mugshot. Nur gets sentenced to 40 years in prison while Donish gets sentenced to 50 years in prison. So, shout out to Houston, Texas, I guess.
