ERIE COUNTY, NY – Sayed Nasir, a 40-year-old resident of Depew, was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison by State Supreme Court Justice Deborah Haendiges on Monday.
The crime took place on November 20, 2021, when Nasir entered his ex-wife Nazeefa D. Tahir’s residence.
Violating an order of protection, Nasir stabbed Tahir multiple times, leading to her death. The crime happened while preparations were underway for their child’s birthday party.
A jury verdict was delivered on June 9, after a five-day trial. Nasir’s past includes other convictions related to domestic violence, including a no-contact order lasting until October 2026.
A new protection order against Nasir, effective until 2123, protects the victim’s family, including their child.
