Muslim Indicted For Shaking Baby To Death Blames Ramadan Fasting For Making Him ‘On Edge’
A Muslim man in France who was indicted for manslaughter for shaking his 5-month-old daughter to death blamed fasting during Ramadan for putting him “on edge”.
The 42-year-old man, who is said to have stayed at a hotel with his child while his wife went to work every day as the couple were still looking for a home, was indicted in a Versailles court this week for manslaughter after admitting to shaking the young child to death on May 28th, Le Parisien reports.
The man, who lives in the commune of Mantes-la-Jolie, is said to have reacted to the young child crying by shaking her and then throwing her on the hotel bed. The child once more began to cry and the Muslim man shook her again and threw her onto the bed but this time the child bounced off onto the floor headfirst and vomited.
Soon after, the 42-year-old took the child to a nearby hospital where she was diagnosed with a skull fracture and injuries commonly found in babies that have been shaken.
Following the death of the child, the man was taken into police custody where he admitted to the entire incident, blaming fasting due to the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
“I was doing Ramadan and without eating, my nerves were on edge,” he said.
Violence during Ramadan in Europe and elsewhere is not uncommon, with reported cases occurring every year. Last year there were 1,627 murders and 1,824 injuries during Ramadan, making it one of the deadliest Ramadan months in modern history.
In France, one incident of Ramadan violence made headlines in 2016 when a pair of Muslims brutally attacked a waitress in Nice for serving alcohol. The waitress was left with a large facial haematoma following the attack.
Asylum Seeker Uber Driver Said He Murdered His Two Young Children With A Petrol-Soaked Cloth During a Downstairs Sleepover Because He Was ‘struggling Make Enough Money to Support Them’
Uber driver Endris Mohammed also tried to kill his wife and was pictured horribly disfigured in a police mugshot after attempting to take his own life by setting his car ablaze (left). The warped father, 47, tried to take his own life after murdering his two children, Saros, eight and Leanor, six, by smothering them with a petrol-doused cloth (centre). Chilling footage of Mohammed before the murders shows the Ethiopian asylum-seeker arriving at a garage and purchasing a jerrycan full of petrol (top right). Emergency services rushed to the family home following a blaze at the property in Handsworth, Birmingham, at around 3.30am on October 28 last year, where they discovered the lifeless bodies of the two children. Mohammed fled the scene in his rented Vauxhall Insignia – which he used for work – and was later found 40 miles away inside the burning vehicle, having tried to take his own life (bottom right). When asked by a psychiatrist why he had murdered his children and attempted to murder his wife, Mohammed said that he ‘did not want them to suffer’.
Selected Comments:
What a thoroughly evil man, to kill his children and attempt to kill his wife. The injuries to himself does not mean a thing and I have no sympathy for him.
Useless animal, couldn’t even kill himself properly
I’m glad he’s not dead. I hope he suffers for the rest of his life
Hopefully he’s in complete agony until he dies a violent death.
That’s horrific, those poor children! He deserves whatever is coming his way in the way of pain and torment!
Those poor children they never had a chance with evil living amongst them.
