The perpetrator, Sara Ege, was sentenced to at least 17 years in prison before she could be considered for parole by the Cardiff crown court.
The court stated that Ege treated her son Yaseen “like a dog” as he had trouble with memorising passages from the Quran. She assaulted him on his hands and body until he collapsed on the floor of his bedroom and died.
Ege burned her son’s corpse by using barbecue lighting gel, to conceal her crime.
Following her arrest, the mother confessed to the murder of her seven-year-old son.

@Abid P. Khan: Translation for your Urdu quote please. My Urdu knowledge is not that good but I like the beauty of the language. If you had said it in Bengali, Hindi or some other south indian language, I would have understood.
@Raj - USA: "...BTW, I read somewhere today that this woman was an immigrant from India. " . Finally you could get it off your chest. Bravo! . Khar e Isa gar ba Makkah rawad henuz khar bashad....said a wise man of the East.

@1984: Yes, I agree that idiocy has no borders. The point you have made of teaching humanity before religion is excellent.
Deport her to land of pure. She would make an ideal taliban leader.
Well, she won't burn his body, and i wonder guardian is covering our local news? I don't believe.
dnt drag Quran in , must be a different case .!!
@Raj - USA: Idiocy has no borders.....Just today,I read a news about a white supremacist christian student in US who was writing in a blog on how he's going to kill few black teachers and a white boy whom he suspected to be a gay using handmade grenades
Thank God he was arrested before he could do something....
she was mentally ill . anyone wondered that ???
@1984: What you have said is very true. You have put it so well and brought out the real issue. BTW, I read somewhere today that this woman was an immigrant from India.
This woman would have been set free in Pakistan.
To many she will be a hero who upheld her belief and saved the religion.
Another evidence to prove that if you indoctrinate someone just with religion without teaching humanity.You will only create brainless zombies who will even kill for their perceived righteousness
This applies to every religion,not just Islam
disgraceful mother. disgraceful human.
Life of a child is not worth a book. Force her to read other religious books and by heart.
FTW is going on in this world?
There are no words to describe what I felt when I read this. It should be life without parole, at least.
What kind of mother beats her kid to death? Give her the death penalty if she is so concerned about Islam!!
17 years is not enough, she should be incarcerated for life without parole, this is one of the most heinous crime a person could commit. I say lock her up for good and throw the key away.
