In a shocking incident, a two year old girl has been left disabled for life with injuries described to be similar to a 70 mph crash victim. In a fit of “inhumane” rage, Nisar Ali, 34, beat and shook the child after he was asked to look after her for 10 minutes at the mother's request. He later returned her home in his car without uttering a single word. The court heard that the child collapsed at home in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, and was found to have suffered 30 injuries including a fractured skull and a bleed on the brain.
Minshull Street Crown Court, Manchester heard that Ali collected the child from her mother's house, but it is thought he lost his temper with her at a nearby park, attacking her later at his parents' house. While the father of two from Cheetham Hill, denied any wrongdoing, he was convicted of intent to cause grievous bodily harm following a trial at the court, and jailed for 14 years. Judge Tina Landale who passed the sentence told him when he released he will be on license until 2036. He said, “This is a grave crime, the evidence which the jury heard provided a chilling insight into your character and sense of morality and humanity. Before this incident the child you injured was a very bright, delightful, happy child with all of her future ahead of her. She had a loving family, a devoted father, a loving sister, a wider extended family. Your defence was that you had not caused any injured and had no knowledge how she came to be so gravely ill- but the evidence in the trial showed you to be manipulative man.”
“It may never be known what you did to her but something happened at the park when you took her there. You were away from the mother for a period of 10 minutes. It's most likely you took the child into your parents house where you attacked her.”
The victim's father said in a statement, “Words cannot describe what I've been put through by this one inhumane person. The 11th January is one date I will never forget. At 17.35 when my ex wife called me to say my little girl was not breathing. My daughter as lying there lifeless I couldn't believe my eyes. I looked at the bruise on her right forehead. I had to leave early because it was snowing. The nurse said she was very critical and by the time I came back she might not be here.”
"My daughter will never be the same, the actions of this one inhumane person has caused my daughter her future. I will do my best to give to her what's been selfishly taken from her. Mr Ali will be out of prison one day but my daughter still needs a head operation. No sentence can justify what's happened regardless of the length."
