UK: A 22-year prison sentence was imposed on Abdul Wahab, a Pakistani Muslim stepfather, for the murder of his Polish stepdaughter Nadia Zofia Kalinowska, which was 5 years old, in a “brutal and merciless” manner. As a result of this terrible happening, concerns about violence and child protection have escalated in the UK.
In her own home, where she was supposed to have felt secure Nadia Zofia Kalinowska—a symbol of innocence and vulnerability—became a victim of abuse. Not only was she subjected to constant torture, but she was also murdered. In a location where she was meant to feel safe, such an awful crime took committed.
The youngster had more than 70 injuries total on her body, including bruises and markings, a fractured skull, a lacerated liver, many rib fractures and re-fractures, a shattered collarbone, a fractured pelvis, and an injury to her colon, which were all discovered during the court hearings. The intensity of the child’s internal and exterior trauma was evident from these wounds.
Aleksandra Wahab, the daughter’s mother, who lived in the house with Abdul Wahab, was also given an 11-year prison term for complicity in the girl’s murder. It was concluded that she had let her child’s life end fatally.
The mother’s habit of dressing her baptized Catholic daughter in “traditional Muslim attire” to hide her wounds was made public during the trial. This information implies that the offender and her accomplice seemed to be normal while torturing the young victim and inflicting pain in the name of religion.

Additionally, it emphasizes the need for strict punishment through legal procedures for individuals who commit such heinous crimes, in order to send a message of social justice to both the perpetrators and those involved in similar offenses.
