to use and carry a firearm during a crime of violence count and up to life in prison on the remaining counts at sentencing. Singh previously pleaded guilty to murder-for-hire conspiracy, murder-for-hire and other charges, and was sentenced to life in prison. Hunter has yet to go to trial. This was not a spontaneous act of violence. It was a deliberate, persistent, and cold-blooded murder-for-hire scheme, U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding QuiƱones for the Southern District of Florida said in a statement. The defendants tracked Suren Seetal, sent armed men to kill him, tried again after the first attempt failed, and ultimately had him ambushed and murdered. They then paid the gunman and helped dispose of Seetal's body in the Everglades. One conspirator is already serving life in federal prison, and a jury has now convicted Seetaram for his role in this brutal crime.
