A man was just sentenced to life in federal prison after being convicted by a judge for kidnapping and sexually assaulting two people. The person also locked one of his patients in a lava block body.
In a recent press launch, the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon announced that 31-year-old Negasi Zuberi was “sentenced to life in federal prison ” for “kidnapping and sexually assaulting two girls, and holding one in a body he constructed in his car. ”
Court records claim that Zuberi “posed as a policeman official and used a gun and cuffs to prosecute his prey in the back of his car ” on July 15, 2023, in Seattle, Washington. The records show that Zuberi transported his victim about 450 km to his house in Klamath Falls, Oregon. During the process of transporting the adult victim to his house, the 31-year-old sexually assaulted her.
“At his house, the sufferer was moved from his car into a body he had constructed in his garage, ” the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon said. “The woman constantly banged on the body door until it broke open and she escaped. ”
After escaping from the body, the victim was able to get a gun from Zuberi’s car, escape from the residence, and get the help of a passing motorist who contacted the police, according to court documents.

Zuberi was arrested in Reno, Nevada, on July 16, 2023, by Nevada State Patrol officials and Reno Police soldiers.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon noted that during an investigation into Zuberi’s acts, “federal officials discovered that approximately six weeks prior to the theft in Seattle, on May 6, 2023, Zuberi kidnapped and sexually assaulted another target. ”
“ While being held by Zuberi, his first victim observed stacked cinder blocks in his garage that he later used to construct the cell where he detained his second victim, ” the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon added.
According to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon, a federal jury determined that Zuberi was innocent of all the fees against him on October 18, 2024.
“There is no place in civil society for this type of terrifying violence, ” U. S. Attorney Natalie Wight said in the current media release. “ I honestly hope Zuberi’s life word may provide some measure of comfort to his patients. Their confidence and determination are an inspiration to us all. ”
According to The Associated Press, due to Zuberi’s punishment, Assistant U. S. Attorney Jeffery Sweet described Zuberi as “a prolific monster who committed deeds of evil” and “hunted people. ”
