Rape assassination dad jailed
A SYDNEY father who paid a hitman to kill a young woman raped by his son has been sentenced to 10 years in jail for what a judge described as a "cruel and callous" crime. Chaouki Bou-Antoun, now 51, pleaded guilty to one count of solicit to murder after police uncovered the vicious and brazen plot in which a hitman would be paid to kill a young woman so she could not testify against his son, Khater or “Kevin”.

“When the balance of the $23,000 fee was paid, the woman known to the court as “Rebecca” would be raped again then “popped” in the stomach, eye and forehead...”
But what he didn’t know was that as he paid a $3000 deposit was that the apparent hitman was in fact an undercover police officer. When the balance of the $23,000 fee was paid, the woman known to the court as “Rebecca” would be raped again then “popped” in the stomach, eye and forehead, the NSW District Court was told.

In sentencing Bou Antoun senior today, Judge Robert Sorby said the crime “strikes at the very heart of our system of justice”. The Lebanese-born father-of-five had told his sentencing hearing he was sorry for his role in the plan and claimed he had never intended to pay the remaining money which would ensure the murder was carried out. Judge Sorby sentenced him to 10 years' jail with an additional four years to be spent on parole. He will be elligible for release from jail in December 2013.
