Falaq Babar, who dreamed of becoming a lawyer, was punched in a 'fit of rage' by Suhail Mohammed, 23

An 11-year-old girl who dreamed of becoming a lawyer died after being punched in the head by her older brother in a fit of rage - and the family then tried to cover it up, a coroner has ruled.

Falaq, Ms Kearsley found, had an 'underlying, unknown malformation in the brain' described as extremely rare. The inquest heard he was re-interviewed by Greater Manchester Police when the text messages were found, but refused to answer any questions. She said she found that evidence given 'from all the family members' was an 'attempt to disguise or cover-up' the fact her brother punched her.

"Having shoulder charged the door I find on the balance of probabilities he has then punched Falaq on the head. This is wholly consistent with the contemporaneous evidence, in particular with the text messages sent by Suhail to his girlfriend and comments about him punching Falaq. Whether Falaq additionally hit her head on the door or the wall cannot be determined from the evidence.
