Admitting to killing his sister and getting away with it

I could weep after reading this. But mostly I’m just angry. How in gods name has this happened? I know some don’t like DM links but the facts are that a man punched his sister in the head, killing her, and admitted doing so yet will face no charges. Sickening.

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.

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

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

Bluescissorsbluepen · 24/07/2024 08:20

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.

LordPercyPercy · 24/07/2024 08:22

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

@mirax

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

TheScenicWay · 24/07/2024 08:26

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

TheScenicWay · 24/07/2024 08:27

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.

GeraniumJenny · 24/07/2024 08:33

No wonder they call it the Criminal Protection Service.

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

Birdseyetrifle · 23/07/2024 22:39

Sadly it doesn’t surprise me that they are protecting the male in this situation rather than getting justice.

This was my first thought, too. Despicable.

Teentaxidriver · 23/07/2024 23:57

I imagine CPS/ police are scared of being accused of racism, hence no charge.

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.

BakeOffRewatch · 24/07/2024 08:38

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.

Probably12 · 24/07/2024 08:41

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

tragic and appalling.

BakeOffRewatch · 24/07/2024 08:42

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.

ThatAgileGoldMoose · 24/07/2024 08:42

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.

I think that we can safely say that the Mohammed's have no honour and have disgraced their religion.

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

TheScenicWay · 24/07/2024 08:46

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

TVRose · 24/07/2024 08:48

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

1983Louise · 24/07/2024 08:53

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.

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.

While you do the same to Christians?

Cherrysoup · 23/07/2024 23:54

Call me crazy, but all I hear is people being arrested for this kind of crime then being prosecuted (married to a po). I cannot understand, with such clear evidence, why this guy isn’t being prosecuted.

I think you can but we're not allowed to say anything which is why the country is in a mess. It's a bloody disgrace...........

I know people keep saying this but it makes no sense that the police are worried about being racist. Why do they arrest any ethnic minority criminal then?
The Muslim communities are disgusted by these kind of people and want them arrested. Some of the gang members were even beaten up by members of their community. I'm not saying that's right of course, but they don't want criminals in their communities and would not be accepting of this either.
Police would get support from the community.

"Not a fan of this rag"? Would you be OK if the Guardian had reported it? It hasn't BTW.

I found it in the Manchester Evening News, but only one mention on Twitter and that was using it as an excuse to be racist.

They were indeed, but the fact this one is not prosecuted is not the fault of the whole of the Muslim community.

Maybe if we'd had some balls re being racist to Muslim men and calling them out, many British and Asian girls would be living much safer lives in the UK. We're not even scratching the surface, grooming gangs, honour killings, forced marriages, getting away with murder. Is it any wonder people are angry at all these injustices.

I don’t think this is true, I remember listening to a phone in where a young woman who’s family knew one of the grooming gang members who were arrested. She was talking about how many excuses were made and the blame was put squarely on the children 🤷🏽‍♀️. She was disgusted and shocked by the response.

To be honest the extent of the grooming gangs and the fact that they often involved men who were related and friends shows that these behaviours were accepted to a certain extent. I can’t imagine many men I know turning around to one of their cousins or brothers and saying “I’ve got a 12yr old, do you want to borrow her” and not getting a very negative response.

I also grew up in an area where sexual harassment by pakistani men towards schoolgirls specifically was prolific. Always trying to pick them up on the street in the shopping centre etc. Obviously this is not every pakistani man but it was extremely common. I know thats not comfortable but tbh I care more about the safety of girls than the feelings of men.

I would also suggest listening to some interviews with ex-muslim women and their experiences from within their communities. We are ignoring an epidemic of violence and domestic abuse and it’s hurting girls and women. Race shouldn’t matter, we have laws, they need to be enforced.
