Description
ON JUNE 7, 2005, Ali Mahamud murdered his cousin by stabbing him 54 times with a knife. Mahamud and his victim, Sulleyman Suleiman, were sitting in a van in the parking lot of a small park in Kansas City, Missouri, when Mahamud slashed and stabbed his cousin to death. After the murder, Mahamud dragged his cousin's bleeding body across the park and dumped it in a shallow creek. Mahamud fled the scene and was later arrested by Kansas City, Missouri, police officers. Detectives interrogated Mahamud for about two hours following his arrest, and he confessed to the murder. Although the interrogation took place in an interview room equipped with a video recording system, the entire interrogation was not recorded. Instead, pursuant to the department's policy, detectives recorded only a videotaped statement repeating the defendant's key, incriminating admissions after their initial questioning elicited a confession.
