Paternity test sparked brutal killings, prosecutor says.
A man killed his wife and daughter after a paternity test showed it was not his child

A Perris man strangled his wife and bludgeoned his 6-year-old daughter to death after a paternity test showed his daughter was not his, a prosecutor told a jury Thursday, June 21.

Michael Barbar, 54, could face the death penalty if convicted of all charges that he plotted and murdered his wife, Maysam Barbar, 43, and his youngest daughter, Tamara on Nov. 14, 2009.

Barbar's 13-year old daughter, Tarah described on the witness stand how she woke to her younger sister's cries and pleas for help as her father was bashing her head into her bedpost.

“She was yelling 'No, stop, please,'“ Tarah said timidly on the witness stand as her father watched. “It was different. They sounded like pleading cries.”

Tarah said she heard her father banging more than 20 times, then marching up and down the stairs carrying garbage bags as she lay in bed. She woke up the next morning to her sister's bed covered in blood and her mother's room locked.

After the killing, he called his oldest step daughter, Theadora and told her there was an accident and to call police. He called her back and confessed he had killed his wife and Tamara.

Barbar rented a car and arranged to have it left at the Morongo Casino in Cabazon. He also had a revolver and directions to where he could find his wife’s lover in Texas. Prosecutors said he had exchanged cars at the Casino and was on his way to Texas when he was stopped by police in New Mexico.

Deputy District Attorney John Aki described how Barbar received paternity test results then plotted for eight days to kill his wife and daughter, then kill the man who was having an affair with his wife before planning to flee to Lebanon.

“This case is about viciousness, cruelty selfishness and control,” Aki said. “Maysam and Tamara had no idea they were going to be killed that night. He knew for eight days that Tamara was not his daughter.”

Prosecutors said Barbar had discovered his wife was having several online affairs in early 2009, including once where she went to Texas to meet one lover.

In November 2009, Barbar checked his daughter out of school at Val Verde Elementary and took her to a McDonald’s to meet a notary for a paternity test. On Nov. 6, Barbar found out Tamara was not his daughter,
On Friday, Nov. 13, 2009, Barbar and his family had a barbecue and he gave his step daughter $20 and told her not to come home that night. He told his two younger daughters to go to bed early so he could have a special evening with his wife.

Police found Maysam Barbar strangled to death with a computer cord around her neck and her hands handcuffed behind her back.

Prosecutors said Barbar also attempted to strangle Tamara as she slept, but she fought back. Barbar instead, slammed his daughter's head into the bedpost repeatedly until her skull was crushed, Aki said.

Barbar's defense attorney Eric Keen told the jury that Barbar had done “the single most regrettable thing he's done in his life.”

He asked the jury to find Barbar guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

“In an uncontrollable rage, the pain boiled over and he killed Maysam and Tamara,” Keen said. “There was no plan.”

I agree as I thought this was brand new and made a mental note to google it and post. Ratings is her thing.

I had to laugh out loud at the way she talked to "Sherman". She gets a rise out of calling the lawyers by their last name. I also agreed with her. Stop the presses!!

The 'father' that did this planned it. It was pre-meditated. Period.

I agree, pre-meditated and he deserves to fry.
I do wish that NG would concentrate on the MISSING instead of reporting on things like this or at least make the show partially on these things and the rest on the missing.

I could not agree more. I was surprised she didn't mention that yesterday was the 3rd year anniversary for Michael Jackson's death.

54 yr old Michael Barbar allegedly killed his wife & daughter after a DNA test proved the girl was not his biological child/chrged w/ 2 cts of 1st degree murder/convicted & sentenced to death for both murders! Empty Michael Barbar Guilty: Jury Convicts Man Of Murdering His Wife And Daughter

Post by raine1953 Sat Jun 01, 2013 2:24 pm

7.13.2012
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — A jury convicted a man Friday of murdering his wife and her 6-year-old daughter in California after a paternity test revealed the child was not his.

The Riverside County jury found Michael Barbar, 55, guilty of two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Maysam Barbar and her daughter, Tamara.

Jurors also found true the special circumstance allegation of lying in wait, which makes Barbar eligible for the death penalty.

Barbar, who helped raise the child since birth, became suspicious about her paternity after discovering his wife had three separate affairs, prosecutors said.

He pulled Tamara out of school and swabbed her cheek for a DNA sample while eating at a McDonald's. When the paternity test showed the child was not his, Barbar spent eight days plotting the Nov. 14, 2009 murders, according to The Riverside Press-Enterprise ().

Barbar first strangled his wife with a computer cord as she was handcuffed and naked on the floor, prosecutors said, then went to Tamara's room and tried to strangle her as she slept. When she struggled, Barbar bashed her head into the bedpost as many as 20 times, crushing her skull, prosecutors said.

Barbar was planning to kill his wife's lover in Texas and flee to Lebanon but was stopped by police in New Mexico after authorities tracked his cellphone signal, according to evidence at the trial.

Eric Keen, Barbar's defense attorney, said the killings were not planned but carried out in an uncontrollable rage. He asked jurors to find his client guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

Barbar's 13-year-old daughter Tarah testified that she heard her younger sister's cries and her father marching up and down the stairs carrying garbage bags as she lay in bed the night of the killings. The next morning, she found her sister's bed covered in blood and her mother's room locked, she said.
The penalty phase of trial begins July 30.

54 yr old Michael Barbar allegedly killed his wife & daughter after a DNA test proved the girl was not his biological child/chrged w/ 2 cts of 1st degree murder/convicted & sentenced to death for both murders! Empty PERRIS: Death sentence for murder of wife, girl

Post by raine1953 Sat Jun 01, 2013 2:28 pm

December 14, 2012
Michael Barbar was sentenced to death Friday, Dec. 14, for murdering his wife and her 6-year-old girl after a paternity test showed he was not the biological father of the child.
Barbar, 43, of Perris, claimed in court the slayings were a crime of passion; the judge called them planned and extremely violent.
Jurors voted in August to recommend death, rather than life in prison without parole, for the November 2009 murders of Maysam Barbar, 43, and her daughter Tamara in the couple’s Perris home Judge Edward Webster ordered Barbar to death row at San Quentin after earlier outlining why he would not reject the jury’s recommendation of capital punishment:
“The pre-planned, grossly violent murder of a small child; the cruelty of having sex with (the wife) before you kill her, the fact that both victims were strangled, which I think is the most personal kind of killing … all about which the defendant thought about, planned and executed and believed hoped to get away with by escaping back to Lebanon,” Webster said.
Barbar addressed the court before sentencing, at first tearfully asking forgiveness from family members, but then flipping his voice and demeanor to a strident tone as he blamed investigators, the judge and prosecutors for corruption and prejudice in the conduct of his case.
