Your Answer, Please!

According to the Asibandhakaputta sutta, Buddha had once posed this question to this situation :

Situation: Take a person who kills living creatures, steals, and commits sexual misconduct. They use speech that’s false, divisive, harsh, or nonsensical. And they’re covetous, malicious, and have wrong view.

And a large crowd comes together to offer prayers and praise, circumambulating them with joined palms and saying: 'When this person’s body breaks up, after death, may they be reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm!’

Question: Would that person be reborn in heaven because of their prayers?

What would your answer be?
