Ebrahim Shah, 77, the father of Mohamed Vahed Ebrahim, 43, who is charged with Louw's kidnapping and murder, died at midday. According to Ebrahim's attorney, Chris Gounden, his client had not yet been informed of the death of his father. Gounden said Shah had been ill. "One of my other clients recently contacted me because they came across Shah disorientated in his car. My client found my business card in his car and called me to ask if I knew him. They helped by driving him back to his home in Phoenix," said Gounden.According to an indictment presented in court, Ebrahim had an argument with Louw's mother before he allegedly kidnapped the child.
