STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A former professional boxer from Staten Island convicted of murdering his adult daughter has been sentenced by a judge to life in prison.

Kabary Salem, 57, was recently found guilty by a jury of first-degree murder and strangulation in connection with the 2019 homicide case that spanned two states.

Prosecutors said the victim, Ola Salem, 25, who shared a Rosebank home with her father, was killed in Pennsylvania and then driven to Bloomingdale Park on Staten Island, where she was later discovered by a passerby.

The top count carried a mandatory minimum of life in prison, barring any potential mitigating factors argued by the defense. The prosecution, at the start of the trial, decided against pursuing the death penalty, LebTown reported at the time.
