Husband Charged in Murder-for-Hire of NYC Art Dealer Sikkema in Brazil
Daniel Sikkema, 54, has been indicted for allegedly orchestrating the murder of his estranged husband, Brent Sikkema, a wealthy art dealer, who was found stabbed to death in Brazil on January 14, 2024. The Southern District of New York charged him with multiple counts, including murder-for-hire and conspiracy, in connection with the brutal killing, which reportedly involved a hitman who stabbed Brent 18 times. During their contentious divorce, Daniel allegedly hired a hitman, referred to as CC-1, and concealed his involvement through secret payments totaling $5,000. The accused hitman, identified as Alejandro Triana Prevez, was arrested shortly after the murder and reportedly confessed to the crime, claiming he was promised $200,000 for the job. If convicted, Daniel Sikkema faces life in prison or potentially the death penalty. His attorney maintains his innocence, asserting a commitment to vindication at trial.
