The sister of murdered teacher Sabina Nessa has condemned Priti Patel for failing to support women victims of violence, according to a report. Garage worker Koci Selamaj chased the 28-year-old and hit her over the head with a metal traffic triangle before dragging her unconscious body to the undergrowth and strangling her in Kidbrooke, south-east London. On Friday, a judge ruled that the murder was sexually motivated by a “predator” after ordering Selamai to serve at least 36 years in prison.

“Although I do not know how Sabina’s family and friends feel, I hope today’s proposal brings them some relief, knowing that this evil monster has done justice. “As Minister of the Interior, tackling violence against women and girls is central to my Crime Plan and I do my best to target the perpetrators, protect the public and do our roads are safer for everyone “. However, according to the BBC, Ms. Nessa’s sister, Jebina Islam, responded by criticizing Ms. Patel for the “lack of support”.

Ms Nessa’s murder on September 17 last year came six months after the murder of Sarah Everard, highlighting once again the dangers women can face when walking alone at night. The year a teacher at Rushey Green Elementary School in Catford had set off that night to meet a friend at the Depot Bar and decided to cross Cator Park while it was late. He passed Selamaj – armed with the 2-legged metal triangle – and the creepy CCTV caught on as he turned around and launched the terrifying attack. The judge on Friday asked Selamai’s lawyer if the killer could explain the murder, but was told he would remain silent forever. Ms. Nessa’s sister, Jabina, told the absent defendant: “You are a terrible man and you do not deserve to be called by your name. “You are a disgusting animal.” Describing him as “cowardly”, she shed tears before asking him: “We just want answers to why you killed her. Why?” Ms. Nessa’s parents, Abdur Rouf and Azibun Nessa, told Selamaj: “You had no right to take her away from us in such a harsh way. “The moment the policeman came to our house and told her that she was found dead, our world was shattered into tiny pieces. “How could you do such a thing to an innocent girl who was passing by, doing her job. “You are not human, you are an animal.” The court heard Selamaj, who worked at the Esso garage in Lewes, had become violent at his wedding in the months before the murder. His ex-wife told police he had grabbed her twice by the neck and she left the marriage fearing for her life. Selmaj pleaded guilty to murder and was absent from court as he was sentenced to life in prison.
