The Muslim News - 3 year-old girl witnesses fatal assault on grandfather outside mosque

3 year-old girl witnesses fatal assault on grandfather outside mosque

By Elham Asaad Buaras

A Muslim pensioner died from his injuries a week after he was callously ambushed and assaulted by a gang in front of his petrified grandchild.

Ikram Syed ul-Haq, 67, suffered fatal brain damage after he was beaten to the ground in front of his 3-year-old granddaughter Marian ul-Haq on August 31.

Witnesses said the hysterical toddler ran screaming into the Idara-e-Jaaferiya Islamic centre in Church Lane, Tooting, south London, at around 9pm. Most of the congregation were still inside as they shared a meal to break their Ramadan fast.

The father of one was taken to St George’s Hospital in Tooting, where he stayed in a coma for a week.
