Sammar Khan pleads guilty to third-degree murder for killing husband at Bristol Wharf

Sammar Khan pleaded guilty to third-degree murder on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, in connection with the May 2023 shooting death of her husband at the Bristol Borough Wharf.

Khan, 42, of Levittown, appeared before Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey L. Finley to enter the open guilty plea in the killing of her husband Faisal Iqbal. She also pleaded guilty to possession of an instrument of crime, and recklessly endangering another person.

Sentencing was scheduled for Sept. 30.

The charges stem from an incident on May 30, 2023, when Bristol Borough Police were dispatched at 10:53 a.m. to the Bristol Borough Wharf, 1 Mill Street, for a report of a shooting. Officers arrived to find Khan at the scene with blood on her clothing and located 38-year-old Faisal Iqbal deceased in a grassy area with visible gunshot injuries. A gun was found nearby.
