Admitting to killing his sister and getting away with it

While you do the same to Christians?

Probably the same reason the poor girls that were groomed in Rotherham were let down so badly. Let's not rock the apple cart and upset certain parts of society. Before anyone gets on their high horse I'm stating the bleeding obvious and nothing else.

I read this yesterday and couldn’t believe it. The only good thing is the world will know how the family covered for him, but I’m guessing in some circles that will see the family held in higher regard in their community, that they protected a male. Just awful

I doubt the police are worried about coming across as racist. This isn't a random stop and search.

Absolutely; after all there's nothing in their religion which suggests it's okay to use such violence on a defenceless sibling or for the family to behave as they have

There's plenty among some subsets of the culture though, and as so often "cultural sensitivities" are very likely to be the priority here - which is why I'd say good luck to those hoping an eye is kept on any other siblings

You don't get to throw around accusations that the police aren't acting because they fear being called racists. Not when the killer has admitted his crime.

Why isn't he being pursued for an assault charge, if there isn't enough evidence that his blow was deadly?

Rape is legal and there's a man walking around who openly admits he killed a little girl and he doesn't even have a criminal record to show for it. He could technically go get a job working with children and it wouldn't show up on a DBS check. What a country to be female in.

You’re right @Brexile , perpetrators of all characteristics are getting away with it. The reports about the prosecution and probation system are really worrying, such as the case of Sara Aleena murdered by Jordan McSweeney. Jordan shouldn’t have been released but the probation system is under staffed.

However I hate that that’s used to deflect very serious issues in communities, honour killings, abusive behaviour dynamics in the larger family and stopping access to education for girls are huge issues.

He should be prosecuted and the parents as well, for covering it up.

tragic and appalling.

The legal system is meant to represent society, is there a petition or way to support CPS making a prosecution?

I’m still waiting to hear the outcome of the case of poor 10yo Sara Sharif. I can’t believe her father left her dead and fled to another country. Families are really failing their children.

That makes no sense. It would be more racist to say 'Who cares about the victim, she's only a [insert epithet].

I'm pretty sure that prosecuting murder in these circumstances can never be a racist act. Clearly the CPS can't be arsed and now racists are going to use it as a wedge issue, claiming that minorities are now getting away with murder as well as the usual grooming etc. Well yes they are, but white perpetrators are too.

This was my first thought, too. Despicable.

No wonder they call it the Criminal Protection Service.

That poor girl deserves justice.
Her family are disgusting for not telling the truth.

That poor beautiful girl. Let down badly and probably had been for ages.
The fucker didn't even know why he punched her and killed her.

None of this makes sense!
There are text messages.
There's a 999 call where they picked up on what family members were saying.
There are younger witnesses who are also vulnerable and need protecting.
WTF

@mirax

Maybe toxic females or maybe other women who are being controlled, abused and are scared themselves.

Please don’t selectively quote to deliberately miss my point.

The outrage here is that there is no prosecution taking place. That IS the point that you've deliberately missed.

I was fuming yesterday when on (I think) GMB they were blaming social media and Andrew Tate for the rise of VAWG and while they undoubtedly play their part surely this is much more of a reason.

you can kill a girl child and walk away even when you admit it. The police are no deterrent, you’re not going to end up in prison and probably the ‘investigation’ won’t expose you to public disgrace so carry on hitting your wife. It’s sickening and I don’t think the public realise how little justice there is.

This story comes out one day after the story that VAWG has risen massively. It's terrible if they don't prosecute this man.

Please don’t selectively quote to deliberately miss my point.

What a joke this country has become. It seems that no-one is held accountable for anything anymore. What else has this murderer and his family gotten away with? He must be walking around thinking he’s untouchable.

That poor 11 year old girl was not ‘screaming her head off’ for nothing. She must have been terrified.

Did you say another child that doesn’t matter to Christians when Star Hobson, Arthur Labinjo Hughes, Victoria Climbié and many other kids were killed?

Their killers were prosecuted.

He apparently admitted it in texts to his girlfriend. They would have some value in court but a jury would hear it in a context of other evidence that would put the causal link between the alleged punch and the girl's death in doubt.

He went .'no comment' at police interview and may well have, as is his right, refused to take the stand at trial.

I understand the analogy with pub brawls where somebody bangs their head on a kerb or whatever and they're charged with manslaughter. Causal link there is crystal clear.

It's been said before that the difference between manslaughter and man's laughter is merely a bit of punctuation.

Hard cases, either way, are why we have a system to decide what get's prosecuted.

Please don’t turn this into an opportunity to be racist to Muslims. This is about another little girl let down by her family and the justice system.

That’s an horrific read from beginning to end … the half brother AND her parents are all responsible! Her father immediately lied in the 999 call, failed his daughter and backed up the half brother 😟 That poor beautiful girl .. those poor siblings who witnessed it all 🥺

This is heartbreaking. My brother was 12 years older me than me, I grew up scared of him. He slapped me with such force once for being late getting out of school. One punch on the face from him would have seriously hurt me.

Rest in peace, Falaq.
