Posted by In her statement, Aisha said her daughter’s murder has destroyed her life and she suffers ongoing flashbacks
A MONSTER with a history of violence against women “smiled directly” into his partner’s face as he held their eight-year-old child in front of him and killed the little girl, the Central Criminal Court heard.
Aisha Al Katib, 32, told the court of her daughter Malika’s final moments at the hands of Muhammed Al Shaker Al Tamimi.
The brute was today sentenced to life in prison for his horror crime.
Mr Justice Paul McDermott imposed a consecutive 10-year sentence on Al Tamimi for Aisha’s attempted murder. He will serve the 10-year sentence before beginning the life sentence.
The court heard that in the months before the murder, Al Tamimi began contacting Aisha, telling her he was concerned that Malika was not behaving in accordance with the Islamic faith.
During the attack, Malika had bravely told her father to stop stabbing her mother before he grabbed the eight-year-old and turned the knife on her.
