Yaqeen indicted on murder charges
DAYTON — Mary Yaqeen, who called police Dec. 8 and told a 911 dispatcher she shot her husband, was indicted Friday Dec. 18 on two counts of murder.
The grand jury also indicted her on two counts of felonious assault, each under a different legal definition: one for “causing serious harm” and the other for “use of a deadly weapon.” The murder counts are for a “proximate result” of the felonious assault charges.
Yaqeen, 59, remains in the Montgomery County Jail in lieu of $1 million bond. She told the police dispatcher that Yunus Yaqeen, her husband since 2004, had abused her.
Officers dispatched to 324 Savannah Ave. about 3 p.m. found him dead on the living room floor from multiple gunshot wounds to the torso, police said. Detectives recovered a semiautomatic 9 mm handgun in the home.
Mary Yaqeen told the 911 dispatcher her husband displayed the gun “and turned at me and he laid it on the table and I shot him with it.”
Lead homicide detective Sgt. Gary White said last week investigators were looking into her contention that she was being abused, but said she had no signs of physical abuse when arrested.
