Al-Zahrani Sentenced for Stabbing Professor [on Richard Antoun]

A 48-year-old former BinghamtonImage University graduate student was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison for stabbing a professor to death in December 2009.

Abdulsalam Al-Zahrani, a national of Saudi Arabia, pleaded guilty in May to first-degree manslaughter, according to the Broome County District Attorney’s Office. He stabbed Professor Richard Antoun multiple times in Antoun’s campus office.

Al-Zahrani was sentenced to a determinate term of 15 years in prison and five years post-release supervision. As a condition of his plea, he waived his right to appeal from his conviction. It’s expected that he will be deported to Saudi Arabia upon completion of his prison term.
