Eight-year-old Yara Alnajjar beaten to death with a rolling pin on May Day Eve last year – almost exactly a year later, nearing the end of the second lawsuit about the girl’s death.
But the subject is still a big hole in the investigation.
A woman and a man of Yara’s immediate vicinity – the uncle and his wife – were convicted in Blekinge District Court . In the couple of Karlskrona would Yara avoid the bombs in Gaza and instead get a secure existence. But it ended with the death of the little girl.
– It is quite clear that Yara deprived of life in the couple’s home. We have bloodstains throughout the apartment, we have a rolling pin with blodavstrykningar and splashes, we have tufts of hair drawn out with force. Violence against Yara has taken place in the home, says chief prosecutor Pernilla Åström.
“Both equally responsible”
She appealed the District Court judgment to allow the Court of Appeal considered whether the man’s passivity when the girl was beaten to death is so serious that he can be tried for murder just like the woman.
– If there are one or two who distributed the fatal blows does not really matter. Both are equally responsible by the named underwriter responsibility, says Åström.
– By failing to intervene makes you guilty of murder, just as if you yourself had exercised violence.
Yara’s peers have told the hearing that the girl feared for his life. She did not think it would be weekend – because of fear of being beaten by both the man and the woman says Åström.
– My firm opinion is that both should be convicted of murder and if so, to life prison.
burst into tears
The day of the trial did not even start before the convicted woman burst into tears. On the way into the hearing room, she saw a witness who her lawyer Eric Widner called – a distant relative who should have lived with the couple for a short time.
The witness tells about his view of the condemned man: A jealous husband who abused his wife.
– Sometimes, frankly, he’s not a normal human being, he says.
With a sharp eye looking woman contact with the man during witness examination. But he remains seated with his head bowed against the table.
The man’s defense lawyer learns return to the crucial issue from last lawsuit. Will man be judged as hard as the woman? From the district court’s side is his uncle’s guilt that he, with his so-called guarantor position for Yara, did not protect her from the brutal and deadly violence.
