Sara Ege Given Life Sentence for Murdering Son over Koran Studies

BBC: A mother who beat her seven-year-old son when he failed to memorise passages from the Koran has been given a life sentence for his murder.

Sara Ege, 33, killed Yaseen Ege at their home in Pontcanna, Cardiff, in July 2010 and set fire to his body.

She was convicted in December after a five-week trial. The judge has set a minimum tariff of 17 years.

Her husband Yousuf Ege, a taxi driver, was cleared of allowing the death of a child by failing to protect him.

Sara Ege was also found guilty of perverting the course of justice. » | Monday, January 07, 2013
