Dad who murdered his 10-month-old daughter in 'fit of temper' after her crying woke him up jailed for life

A dad who murdered his 10-month-old daughter after her crying woke him up in a ‘fit of temper’ has been jailed for life. Aiman Abbas Toor was killed at the hands of her father Ali Zain, 25, in November 2019, in a ‘brutal and deliberate’ act.

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. Two 'elite' pathologists with 60 years of experience between them said they'd never encountered the 'exceptional' injuries Aiman suffered.

She sustained petechial haemorrhages, bleeding under the skin which revealed themselves as red spots on her face.
