A Queens man who admitted to burning the soles of his housekeeper’s feet because he thought she stole from him tried to worm out of being sentenced Tuesday by saying he wanted to stay out of prison long enough to see his 5-year-old go to kindergarten next month.
But the judge wasn’t buying it and gave defendant Devanand Lachman 10 years behind bars.
“You are not getting any more adjournments,” Judge Robert Kohm told Lachman, noting that he was originally scheduled to be sentenced in November and the case had already been delayed several times.
Lachman, 35, and his wife took a plea deal for kidnapping their housekeeper after accusing her of stealing a gold chain and cash Feb. 13, 2015.
Lachman and another man attacked Daisy Muchuca when she came to clean their home, beating her and burning her feet with a welding blowtorch.
Lachman’s wife, Ambar, looked on as Muchuca was beaten, telling her to confess where she allegedly hid their stolen belongings. Ambar then took the victim’s keys and went to her home to search for her things.
In court, Devanand’s lawyer, Todd Greenberg, asked for the sentencing adjournment so that Devanand could see his son’s first day of kindergarten in September.
“I’m sorry for what happened. I do apologize,” said Devanand, who pleaded guilty to kidnapping, burglary and assault, to the unmoved judge.
Ambar was sentenced to five years probation as part of the couple’s September plea deals. She copped to charges of kidnapping and imprisonment.
“The female defendant aided her husband in this heinous crime,” said Queens DA Richard Brown.
