Suhail Mohammed, the older brother of 11-year-old Falaq Babar, who tragically passed away after an incident in the bathroom of the family home, has not been charged with any wrongdoing. However, during the inquest into her death, it was revealed that Suhail had sent text messages to his girlfriend confessing to "killing" his sister. In these messages, he mentioned that it was a spur of the moment act and that he didn't intend for it to have such severe consequences.
The court also heard that Falaq's siblings were present in the bathroom at the time of the incident. However, despite repeated requests, the family did not give parental consent for them to be interviewed by the police. Suhail was re-interviewed in relation to the text messages, but he chose to remain silent. His then-partner, Sahar Fiaz, also refused to give a statement and dismissed the messages as insignificant.
According to Suhail, the incident occurred when he and his younger brother were arguing over the use of the bathroom. He admitted to using force to open the door and found Falaq on the floor near the radiator. He also mentioned that the door would often get stuck. Falaq went in and out of consciousness and started being sick. Suhail called for an ambulance, but unfortunately, Falaq's condition deteriorated and she passed away in the hospital a month later.
The court also heard from Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Round, who led the investigation into Falaq's death. He mentioned that Suhail was initially arrested on suspicion of assault, but it was unclear at the time what had actually happened. The 999 call suggested that Falaq had been struck by the door. Suhail gave a prepared statement, stating that the family was getting ready for a wedding and Falaq was helping her younger siblings shower when the bathroom door got stuck.
However, during the investigation, text messages between Suhail and his girlfriend were discovered. These messages revealed that Suhail had punched Falaq on the head and she was taken to the hospital. Despite Sahar's outrage and concern for Falaq, Suhail seemed nonchalant about the incident. The court also heard that four expert interpreters were brought in to analyze the voices heard in the background of the 999 call, and they all seemed to hear someone say "hit with a punch" and "who has hit her?"
When questioned about this, Suhail denied making any such comment and claimed that he was on the phone with the emergency services at the time and didn't hear anything. However, the CPS ruled that there was not enough evidence to charge Suhail with manslaughter, and the case was closed. Falaq's mother, Shazia Bi, stated that her children were too young to be interviewed by the police, and she didn't want them to go through that trauma. However, one of her children did tell her that Suhail had punched the door.
In the end, Suhail chose not to add anything else to his statement, and the court concluded that he has not been charged with any criminal offense. It was a tragic accident, and the family has suffered enough. The court also mentioned that Falaq may have had an underlying brain condition, which may have contributed to her death. But regardless, Falaq's family will never forget her, and her death will always be a painful memory for them.
