A lying dad who murdered his 10-month-old daughter as he subjected her to a 'violent and horrible death' faces a life sentence. Little Aiman Abbas Toor was killed at the hands of her father Ali Zain after her crying woke him up.
He bowed his head as the jury foreman revealed the unanimous verdict. Zain, 25, is the only person who will know exactly what happened prior to her death in their home in Bolton.
Prosecutors said that in a 'fit of temper' Zain killed Aiman, who died from asphyxia. He then repeatedly lied about how she died and came up with a 'fantasy story' to align with medical evidence, Manchester Crown Court heard. The prosecution suggested he deliberately smothered or 'crushed' Aiman, causing fatal injuries.
