This poor child.

I really don’t think ordinary members of the public should have to sit on Jury on cases as horrific has this. They’re not trained or equipped to cope with it.

This.

Oh god. So awful. My heart goes out to that poor little girl.

Protecting himself more like it!
Must’ve realised that the evidence was going against him and couldn’t face his depravity being displayed in court, cowardly behaviour
Men who abuse don’t like being held to scrutiny or account.
All the adults in this poor child’s life should all be held to account.
Hope he rots.

I hope he's not saying it was all him so the others get off scott free. They are complicit in doing nothing to help her.

What a beautiful little girl.

Dental impressions are intimate samples that require consent to be taken (much in the same way as penile swabs or blood). Fingerprints are not.

Last time we were at the orthodontist, DS had a scan and they had images that could be 3d printed (instead of the horrible moulds they put in your mouth)

I'm sick of hearing about women getting beaten to death by men in that religion.

Men of all religions and no religion can do child abuse. But it's definitely a problem in his particular religion

I can't read any more about this case. That beautiful little face, always followed by the images of those three monsters. I just can't. I hope they all rot in prison.

I think so.

Sara's siblings are with their paternal grandfather, in Pakistan.

Absolutely shocking. I can't help but cry when I read this.
Rest in peace poor little darling.

I know, I couldn’t do it to any child never mind my own child. Pure evil

I would imagine there will be an inquiry after the criminal case concludes. So many issues to look at.
What evidence was before family court when they decided she was to live with him not mum. If he wasn’t convicted re previous abuse allegations made by former girlfriends was the family court aware.
If he wasn’t charged why not? They are serious allegations by these women.
Why was he here in student visa? Was he actually registered and attending a course, did anyone check.
His marriage to Sara’s mum just before visa expired to enable him to stay - Asian male marrying polish citizen just before visa expires should surely have triggered some checks.
Sara starts wearing hijab. Staff at school report she seems to be pulling it to hide face. What action was taken or was it assumed she was choosing to wear it herself?
Child is then removed from school to be homeschooled. What checks were made. It appears school had noted bruising before she left.
Neighbours reporting hearing screams and bangs and not reporting. Was it just not wanting to get involved or part of acceptable behaviour in the local community to physically chastise children.

I don't think it's shocking to a lot of people.

A lot of adults are completely fucked up. If you put a child near them they take it out on the child

I grew up in a similar violent abusive family.

My best friend had a dad who used to beat his mother black and blue. He told me that his dad beat his mother so badly that he put his mother into hospital for months, and all the services left him, the child, to live with his father alone for those months!

Horrific. I once worked for a short while for an agency that supplied social workers. I know this is often a low pay profession but I was shocked by the complete lack of energy/motivation in most of those I interviewed including in the people who were already in paid employment (as social workers).

Often there was a slight language barrier but so many of these individuals didn't seem as they cared about their jobs (or the people they cared for/engaged with) sadly.

Child abuse is everywhere.

How to tackle it properly is the issue they need to be looking at.

He admitted it to the step-mother's defence barrister who said that a video two days before her death showed Sara dancing around. He murdered Sara in a brutal manner.

This really is one of the most shocking cases I've ever heard about. Sara's father is evil.

I can assure you it is not religion that makes men beat women and children - and rape them too. Don't give them the luxury of that escape route. They alone are responsible. Men of all religions and none are more than happy to make women and children suffer. Nothing to do with any of the religions.

I guess you're aware of the Archbishop of Canterbury resigning and why? I assume you're not talking about men who follow that religion, right?

Religion is not what causes men to abuse. It only offers a shield. Don't give it to them.

No, he needs a bit of prison justice. A death sentence would be too good for someone like this.

Why did they do it?

I’ve heard the mum was abusive too which is why social services got involved but the school was supposed to be monitoring her and contact them regularly which they obvs failed to do as she was going in with bruises and nobody thought to make the call

Great but a forensic ondontologist uses dental samples to compare against bite marks.

I disagree. There is child abuse that is particular to different religions.

For example honor killings of teenage daughters only happens in certain religions.

Unfortunately after a few years in the job many social workers either have to develop a thick shell or they burn out completely. They are usually grossly overworked, and see cases if not quite this bad then still pretty dreadful every day, with up to 30 cases each to deal with.

The required paperwork is very heavy with every interaction needing to be formally recorded (even failed calls or attempted visits where no contact was made), regular case reviews with their boss and other involved workers, pathways plans to be written, and & all notes and documentation added to the system. And this is without the actual visits, calls, or any other actions that are needed to be carried out.

I doubt they will ever disclose why.
History of controlling behaviour towards women. Sara was female.
Belief that physical punishment is acceptable (his letter when he fled uk)
Child from previous relationship scapegoated and not treated as a child of family.
Race element perhaps - she was mixed race.
Seeing her mother’s traits in her and taking it out on child or ‘correction’ so she doesn’t end up like her mother.
