Father jailed for ‘honour’ fire-bombing which killed schoolgirl
21st October 2010
Jabed Ali, who pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of six-year-old Alisha Begum yesterday, was arrested in April after spending more than four years as a fugitive.
Birmingham Crown Court heard that the 27-year-old car body worker’s fingerprints were found on a bottle of petrol at the scene of the arson attack in March 2006.
Ali, formerly of Stamford Road, Aston, Birmingham, is the second man to be jailed for taking part in the attack, although its alleged instigator is still at large.
Judge William Davis, QC, was told that the motive for the arson was anger at a ”clandestine” relationship between one of Alisha’s brothers and the sister of a man who is still being sought.
Your future under Islam. Don’t say that you weren’t warned.
