The ex-hooker accused of hiring a hitman to kill his estranged wealthy Manhattan art-dealer husband was convicted Friday for the cold-blooded slaying that left the victim viciously stabbed nearly two dozen times. A federal jury took just two hours to find Daniel Sikkema guilty of conspiring to kill hubby Brent Sikkema, 77, after secretly shelling out thousands to a Cuban national who carried out the grisly murder plot at the prominent art dealer’s Brazilian vacation home in January 2024. “The tragedy of Brent Sikkema’s death now has a meaningful measure of justice as a unanimous jury of New Yorkers has held Daniel Sikkema accountable for this senseless, cold-blooded murder,” Jay Clayton, US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement.
