Sara Ege: Life jail for son's murder
over Koran studies
07 January 2013 Last updated at 16:56
A mother who beat her seven-year-
old son to death when he failed to
memorise passages from the Koran
has been jailed for life, for a
minimum of 17 years.
The judge told Sara Ege, 33, she
subjected Yaseen Ege to prolonged
cruelty and a ferocious beating at home
in Pontcanna, Cardiff, in July 2010.
She also set fire to his body, and was
convicted after a five-week trial.
Ege collapsed as the sentence was read
out at Cardiff Crown Court and had to be
helped from the dock.
She was also found guilty of perverting
the course of justice and given a four-
year sentence for that crime.
Her husband Yousuf Ege, a taxi driver,
was cleared of allowing the death of a
child by failing to protect him.
Sara Ege had pleaded not guilty to
murder and claimed her husband was
responsible for Yaseen's death.

'Prolonged cruelty'
Mr Justice Wyn Williams said: "I am
satisfied that it was his failure to learn
the Koran that day that resulted in the
beating that caused his death."
He continued: "On the day of Yaseen's death you had kept him home from school so he could devote himself to his study of the Koran.
"He was memorising passages but on
that day Yaseen must have failed in
some way and it was that which was a
trigger for the beating.
"You killed your own son. At the time of
the killing he was particularly vulnerable
because of his age and because of his
relative physical frailty.
Yaseen Ege was beaten to death by his
mother before she burned his body
"In killing your son you abused a
precious relationship of trust which does
and should exist between a parent and a
child."
After the sentencing, a serious case
review was published, making
seven recommendations for
improvements, and said domestic
violence involving the family had
first been reported in 2003, and
again in 2007.
But the review said while lessons could
be learned, Yaseen's death could not
have been predicted.
The judge said she had beaten him for
three months leading up to his death,
adding: "The cause of the beating was
your unreasonable view that he wasn't
learning passages quickly enough.
"The violence Yaseen suffered was not
confined to the day of his death.
"For three months you beat him often
with a wooden pestle and I'm confident
these beatings left him in a significant
amount of pain.
"This prolonged cruelty culminated on
the day of his death in what was a
savage attack. You then set fire to his
body in an attempt to evade
responsibility for what you had done.
"I accept you were a devoted and caring mum. Except for the obsession with Yaseen learning you did many fine things to bring him up as a young boy."

'Beautiful nature'
After the sentencing, Yaseen's father,
Yousuf Ege, paid tribute to his son.
"My memories of my son are that he was
a beautiful little boy, a very happy boy
who was decent and polite," he said.
"It is hard for me now to describe my
loving feelings for my son.
"He was loved by all who had known him
due to his beautiful nature and his high
academic level.
"I would like to thank all my family,
friends for the endless support through
these difficult times and I would like to
thank all the people who sent messages
of condolences."
Tributes also came from Yaseen's former
teachers, who cannot be named for legal
reasons.
An Arabic teacher said: "He was one of
the best children ever. Yaseen was a boy
who loved to learn, he was always
happy, he was a very good boy, very
intelligent and very polite."
Another teacher said Yaseen had a
beautiful smile.
"He was a little angel and touched all our
hearts with his kindness, we shall all
miss him dearly," she said.
Yaseen's primary school teacher added:
"He was a delightful little boy and
beautifully behaved who always had a
smile on his face.
"It was a pleasure having him in school
with us."

Out of control
It was initially thought Yaseen had died
in a fire, but tests later revealed he had
died hours earlier.
In a complicated series of claims and
counter-claims she had confessed to the
murder and then retracted that
confession.
She claimed her husband and his family
forced her to make the confession and
that he was the killer.
The harrowing confession was recorded
by police and shown to the trial jury in
evidence.
In it, Sara Ege described how Yaseen
collapsed after she had beaten him while
still murmuring extracts of the Koran.
"He was breathing as if he was asleep
when I left him," she said. "He was still
murmuring the same thing over and over
again. I thought that he was just tired."
When she returned 10 minutes later she
said she found her son shaking and
shivering on the floor. He then died.
She then used barbecue gel to burn her
son's body in an attempt to hide the
evidence.

The mother also confessed to beating her son for no reason and that her anger often led to her being out of control.
She and her husband had enrolled
Yaseen in advanced classes at their local
mosque as they wanted him to become
Hafiz - an Islamic term for someone who
memorises the Koran.
As a child Sara Ege had taken part in
competitions showing her knowledge of
Islam and had recited from the Koran.
The court heard that she had become
increasingly frustrated with her son's
inability to learn the passages.
She told officers: "I was getting all this
bad stuff in my head, like I couldn't
concentrate, I was getting angry too
much, I would shout at Yaseen all the
time.
"I was getting very wild and I hit Yaseen
with a stick on his back like a dog."
She later retracted her statement.
The trial heard that Yaseen suffered
significant abdominal injuries that were
the cause of his death.
They included fractures which were non-
accidental. He also had numerous
historical injuries.
"Sara Ege made no attempt to seek the
medical attention he so obviously
needed," the court was told during the
trial by prosecutor Ian Murphy.


Op next time rather than engage in self serving summary post the full stuff!
