At the time of the offences, the accused's new wife had borne him another daughter, so the man's two biological children had two stepsiblings.According to the prosecution's case, the accused intended to put his two biological children up for fostering or adoption.In the months leading up to her death, the girl and her brother lived in squalid living conditions, first confined in a corner of the flat near a window where they spent most of the day.
At around 7pm on Aug 11, 2017, the accused realised that his daughter had died, said the prosecution. The accused was assessed at the Institute of Mental Health and found to be not suffering from any mental disorder at the time of the alleged offence.
