Falaq Babar, who had hopes of becoming a lawyer, was punched in a 'fit of rage' by brother, Suhail Mohammed, 23
An 11-year-old girl who had aspirations to become a lawyer died after she was struck in the face by her older brother in a fit of rage and her family attempted to cover it up, a coroner has ruled.
Giving evidence, Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Round said he felt there was 'sufficient evidence' to consult the Crown Prosecution Service in relation to Falaq's death, referencing a possible charge of manslaughter. But, he said, the CPS ruled there was 'no case', a situation he said he believed concerned the 'complexities' of the medical evidence.
Mr Mohammed was arrested after his sisters death, with an investigation launched into a 'suspected assault', but the inquest heard the CPS ruled no further action would be taken after a file of evidence was presented to them. The coroner said it was 'difficult to understand' why the family 'have been so reluctant to at least explore with GMP the possibility of speaking to the younger siblings'.
Ms Kearsley said in her ruling: "I find he acted in the heat of the moment and likely with a degree of frustration. Ms Kearsley said 'it became evident' that family members - namely Mr Mohammed and Falaq's grandmother, Zabida Bibi - could be heard on the 999 call 'speaking amongst themselves'. The recording was enhanced and specialist translators were brought in.Mr Mohammed was also heard to say 'we pray to God and don't make a big deal as it is early in the morning' or 'not to be announced in the morning', added her ruling.
