The suspect, 22-year-old Yonatan Galvez-Marin, was nabbed from the Jamaica Hills neighbourhood, where the victim's husband found her bleeding. Police said Galvez-Marin made statements implicating himself to stabbing the woman after she refused to hand over money. The suspect lives along the road where the incident took place, about two blocks south of the Khanam’s home. A New York police spokesperson said that investigators do not believe that faith or ethnicity were factors in the murder. Nazma, who taught at a school in Bangladesh's Shariatpur, moved to the United States about 10 years ago with her husband Shamsul Haque.
