There are some very heartless people out there!
A father has been jailed for life for the murder of his baby daughter after he became convinced she was possessed.
**Three-month-old Samira Ullah died from head injuries but also had cigarette burns, broken ribs and twisted wrists and ankles, the Old Bailey heard. **
Sitab Ullah, 26, of north-west London, was found guilty of murder and will serve at least 20 years.
** Ullah started to think she was possessed by the ghost or a spirit. **
But following the death of his father, Ullah became paranoid after taking crack cocaine and heroin. He thought his daughter was possessed and not his child.
Speaking from behind a screen Begum told the court: **“He was saying he was not hurting her, he was hurting the thing inside her.” **
Samira was born prematurely and spent the first month of her life in hospital.
Social services then let her go home despite Begum twice being temporarily rehoused away from Ullah by Westminster Council.
It was then that two months of “appalling violence” began, said Richard Whittam, prosecuting.
In that time, a health visitor visited their home once but found nothing untoward and the couple dodged two further appointments.
Jurors were told **Begum once caught her husband trying to strangle the girl and said that on the day Samira died, 16 October 2004, he had shaken her before going out to buy chicken and chips. **
**Samira, who weighed just 8lbs, was found in Ullah’s arms in a blood-splattered bedroom. **
**A pathologist said her brain injury caused by her skull being smashed into a hard surface, possibly a wall, was the worst he had seen. **
Judge Stephen Kramer told him:** "You abused your role as a father. **
It is the worst case the Metropolitan Police has had since Victoria Climbie
