"The older brother of an 11 year-old girl
who died after an incident in the bathroom of her family home
told his girlfriend in text messages
he 'killed' his sister after she was 'screaming her head off',
an inquest heard.
Suhail Mohammed also said in the texts
'it was the heat of the moment' and
'I didn't know it's gonna knock her out'.
The exchanges,
sent around the time an ambulance was called for schoolgirl Falaq Babar,
were revealed as an inquest into her death resumed on Tuesday.
The inquest heard two of Falaq's siblings were apparently also in the bathroom with her at the time.
But Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Round,
who led an investigation into the tragedy,
said
'parental consent' to interview them wasn't given by the family
despite repeated requests.
Mr Mohammed was
're-interviewed' in relation to the texts,
but answered 'no comment',
Det Chief Insp Round said.
His partner at the time,
Sahar Fiaz,
refused to give a statement, but said the messages
'did not mean anything',
Coroner's Court heard."
