Saudi Islamist preacher on trial in daughter’s slaying

In Saudi Arabia people are outraging about a Islamist Preacher that killed his five year old daughter. Lama Al-Gahmdi was sent to the hospital because she had burns, bruises, broken ribs, and a crushed skull. She dater later seven months later. Her mother and some people in high places in Saudi Arabia accuse her father for killing her. “My dear child is dead, and all I want now is justice so I can close my eyes and know she didn’t die in vain,” the mother, Syeda Mohammed Ali told the CNN reporters. “She was brutally tortured in the most shocking ways.” Fayhan Al-Gahamdi is a preacher on salvation and is popular in some place with a broadcast tv sermon on small channels. Some people say he has to pay blood money and others say that he has been released from jail. He has really been in prison for eight months and has charged for actions that led to her death. The next hearing will be in about two weeks. There is a lawyer to assist Lama’s mom. The Human Rights Commission says this is not only and assault against Lama but every like Saudi girl. The father eventually confessed to the abuse of his little daughter. They divorced before he tortured her and was remarried. They have two children together and his new wife is thinking about taking them away from him. People say there are laws needed to get passed to protect women and children.

    That’s horrible! I wonder what possessed him to do that to his own daughter? I wonder if his new wife knew about this before they got married?

    Nice paragraph a little gruesome and you need to check grammar but i was wandering why did he do this.

    •   ddisher17 on February 8th, 2013          Reply

      I am sorry and I am guessing he was probably mentally ill but it didn’t say anything about it

    I think this is a horrific story about a young girl who wasn’t able to defend herself, the only thing I’m concerned about is why did the father kill her?

      I do not know why he did this. I am guessing he is just mentally ill but the article did not say why.

    That is sad that the father maybe killed his daughter and that he is not confessing to killing and that his wife can’t sleep and not knowing what happened to her daughter.
