Sadistic puppy breeder who made 16-month-old girl stand in ‘stress positions’ before shaking her to death caged for life

A SADISTIC puppy breeder who made a little girl stand in stress positions before shaking her to death has been jailed for life.

Evil Kamran Haider, 40, murdered 16-month-old Nusayba Umar after subjecting her to weeks of cruelty to "make sure she didn't grow a p***y".

He was today sentenced to life behind bars, with a minimum term of 20 years.

The Old Bailey had heard he repeatedly slapped little Nusayba after meeting her mum Asiyah Amazir on a dating website.

Haider would make the tot - who had only just learned how to walk - squat with her hands over her ears.

The 'Murga' punishment is sometimes used in mosques in Pakistan.

He would also hit the little one over the hands.

On the day of the murder, Ms Amazir was packing up her belongings to move out when she heard Haider screaming: "Shut up."

Later that day, Nusayba began fitting. She was rushed to King's College Hospital, but medics took her off life support four days later.

The court heard Haider had repeatedly shaken her as a form of "punishment".

The sick killer denied murder and blamed his girlfriend. He was convicted following a trial at the Old Bailey.

This morning, he refused to attend for his sentencing hearing, instead cowering in his cell at Belmarsh.

Judge Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb said she was satisfied Haider had "a propensity to control and abuse women and children who come under his sphere of influence".

"This was not an isolated incident. Haider knew he could not keep his temper and Nusayba was not safe from him, but he did nothing to address that," she said.

Haider had met Ms Amazir online just a month before murdering the toddler. The mum and daughter had moved into his home in Colinton Road, Ilford, East London to help with his illegal puppy-breeding business.

MURDERER JAILED

But he quickly began using "time-out" periods to "discipline" Nusayba - making her stand in a corner for 40 minutes at a time as part of a punishment learned from mosques in Pakistan.

He would also verbally abuse her, calling her a "c***" and a "b*****d".

Ms Amazir told the court her daughter "hated" Haider, adding: "You could see it in her face. She wouldn't eat anything from him, she wouldn't smile at him, she wouldn't even look at him."

When Ms Amazir complained about her daughter's treatment, he said the little one would otherwise "grow up a p***y".

On the day the mother decided to move out, she heard Haider hit Nusayba "two or three times" - inflicting fatal injuries.

"I heard her make this really strange yelping sound," she said.

'TOT HATED HIM'

"I knew he had hit her quite hard."

Haider refused to give evidence in his defence. However, extracts from his interview with cops were read to jurors, in which he was asked about hitting Nusayba the night before her fatal injuries were inflicted.

He told detectives: "This has not happened in my care. This has obviously happened in the mother's care."

Nusayba's father Mohammed Umar said in an impact statement he'd been planning to get custody of his daughter. The murder "ripped my life apart", he said.

"When I go to bed at night I wonder what I could have done differently to avoid this," he said.

"When he killed my child he destroyed my life."

Haider was found guilty of murder and child cruelty by wilfully assaulting or neglecting Nusayba.
