Qasira Ahmad, the devastated mother of 26-year-old Sannah Javed, who was beaten to death by her boyfriend has said she is “disgusted” after he was jailed for only seven years.
Sannah Javed died after being punched in the stomach at her home in Ilford, by her “abusive and controlling” boyfriend, Abu Hussain (37), on 2nd December 2014.
Abu Hussain denied murdering Sannah Javed, however, on 21st May 2015, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter midway through the trial, at the Old Bailey. As a result, Hussain, from Whitechapel, was sentenced to seven years imprisonment.
The verdict did not come as a relief for Sannah’s mother and she plans to lodge an appeal over the sentence.
Qasia Ahmad expressed, “It’s been seven months of torture. Sannah should still be here. He’s taken her life and ruined my life – how am I supposed to live now? I’ve got no one. There was one hope and now that’s gone. I can’t even go to her grave and say Sannah I’m getting you justice.”
She went on to express, “There are days I don’t even want to be here. My suffering will never end. I’ve lost her forever now. He can get out in three or four years. She didn’t do anything to him. It’s not fair.”
The court was informed that Sannah Javed was a vulnerable woman with a drinking problem, who was taken advantage of by Abu Hussain.
