Murder Conviction In Forensically Complex Trial

 

Ben, leading Debi Gould, prosecuted Ameen Thabet for the murder of his secret former Sharia law wife. 

 

After a five week, forensically complex trial he was convicted of her murder.  The following day, he confessed.

 

The victim was one of those described in a New York Times article as being “in peril” of not seeing justice and her name was read by Jess Phillips MP in Parliament as one of those women at risk of not seeing justice.
