‘Lying eyes’ hitman faces extradition back to US

A WOULD-BE Los Angeles hitman, who was hired by Sharon Collins to kill her lover and his two sons as part of the infamous “lying eyes” case, faces extradition back to the US for his involvement in another killer-for-hire plot.

Egyptian-born Essam Eid had been hired on the internet by mother-of-two Sharon Collins, who used the alias “lying eyes” to find a hitman to kill her partner, PJ Howard, and his two sons, Robert and Niall, in 2006.

The 55-year-old was sentenced to six years in prison for demanding €100,000 from PJ Howard’s son in exchange for not killing him, his brother and their father.
