A 35-year-old man has admitted murdering his daughter and attempting to murder her mother at their home in Wexford last year.<\/p>\n
Mohammed Al Shaker Al Tamimi, with an address of Lower William Street, New Ross, Co Wexford, pleaded guilty today to the murder of eight-year-old Malika Noor Al Kattib and the attempted murder of her mother Aisha Noor Al Kattib on Sunday 1 December 2024.<\/p>\n
The mother and child were attacked and stabbed in the house and the child sustained fatal injuries<\/p>\n
Prosecuting counsel Anne Rowland told the court today that the victim will be in a position to make a victim impact statement in December.<\/p>\n
She said she “was not feeling very strong at the moment” even though the court was in a position to give an earlier date for the sentence hearing.<\/p>\n
Defence counsel Michael Bowman said all matters had been explained to Al Tamini and although an interpreter had been provided, his English was very good.<\/p>\n
He also asked that all medical attention continue to be provided to him in custody.<\/p>\n
The 35 year old confirmed his name and replied guilty after each charge was put to him.<\/p>\n
Mr Justice Paul McDermott remanded Al Tamimi in custody for sentencing on 15 December when the victim impact statement will also be heard.<\/p>\n
He faces the mandatory sentence of life in prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 35-year-old man has admitted murdering his daughter and attempting to murder her mother at their home in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":71892,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-71891","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71891"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71891\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
