Pair Guilty Of Murdering Girl, 4
Updated: 13:39, Friday August 10, 2007
A 23-year-old woman and her partner have been found guilty of murdering the woman' s four-year-old daughter following a campaign of " sustained, deliberate and brutal" abuse.
Leticia Aaliyah Wright had been so badly hurt in the weeks leading up to her death her injuries were as bad as those of a major road accident victim.
Murdered: Leticia Aaliyah WrightSharon Wright and Peter McKenzie-Seaton, 22, were convicted of her murder after a four-week trial at Bradford Crown Court.
Wright, wearing a zip-up black sweat shirt, stood open-eyed as the verdict was read out.
Seaton, wearing jeans and a white jumper with blue stripes, showed little response.
Paramedics found Leticia lying bruised and naked on the living room floor at their home in Almondbury Bank, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, on the night of November 18 last year.
She was taken to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary where she died of multiple injuries in the early hours of the morning.

She was covered in bruises - old and new - as well as cigarette burns and bite marks.
Doctors described the back of her head as a " boggy mass" . Her scalp showed signs of infection.
Forensics officers found clumps of her hair in a wheelie bin outside the house.
Traces of her blood were left on her soiled clothes, on a pair of fur-lined handcuffs retrieved from the kitchen, and in " swipe marks" left by her hair on the living room wall.
Her body was covered from head to toe in more than 100 injuries, which police believe were inflicted in the last four weeks of her life.
Guilty: Wright and McKenzie-SeatonWright blamed Seaton for the injuries, accusing him of going into a rage because he did not have any cannabis.
The court heard he smoked up to £140 worth of skunk - a potent form of the drug - every week.
Seaton admitted biting Leticia but denied causing the fatal injuries.
He told the court he was never left to look after her alone.
In the months preceding the death, the little girl was seen standing as if in a " vigil" at her bedroom window.
The court heard two neighbours were so concerned that they rang social services.
Two social workers from Kirklees Council visited the house and met Leticia and her mother but days later her file was closed.
Wright and McKenzie-Seaton had denied the charges.

Tuollaisen jutun takia en edes osta enaa sanomalehtia koska JOKA PAIVA on lehdessa jotain tuollaista. Ei ehka kaikki noin kauheita mutta jotain joka paiva. Pahimpia ovat vauvoihin kohdistuneet julmuudet.

Onko siellä normaaleja ihmisiä lainkaan?
siis en vertaa lapsiin kohdistuvia julmuuksia, tarkoitin, että minusta erityisen oksettavia ovat pieniin lapsiin kohdistuvat valivallan teot, koska itsella on pieni lapsi. Kaikki lapsiin kohdistuvat julmuudet ovat pahoja, yksi ei ole lievempi case kuin toinen. Jos nyt selkosi... :)
vigil on yövalvonta tai juhlan aatto
oli nähty juuri ennen murhaa valvovan ikkunassa koko yön.
Voi raukkaa:( varmaan pelännyt ja varmaan jätetty useasti yksin, jo vauvana...
The injuries that Leticia sustained were so severe that she must have been in unimaginable pain during the final few days of her life.
Letician vammat olivat niin vakavia että hänen on täytynyt tuntea sanoinkuvaamatonta kipua viimeisinä elinpäivinään.
vaikka ei mitään tietoa mitä kyseinen nimi tarkoittaa mutta kai hekin aikovat sitten Israeliin muuttaa kun tytöllekin tuollainen nimi annettu.
oliko tyttö sidottu kiinni ja kidutettu? Ei hyväksikäytetty? itku tuli.
Tietenkin kauheaa, mutta jotenkin mun aivot EIVÄT vaan halua tajuta tuota asiaa. Luin vain tuon yhden suomennoksen, mutten alkanut asiaa sen tarkemmin miettimään! Koska muuten olisi kauheaa!
purtu, poltettu tupakantumpeilla ja kiskottu hiuksista. Eli ei mitenkään seksuaalisesti käytetty hyväksi tms, vaan ihan vain hakattu. Se poikaystävä oli narkkari, ja äiti sanoi sen raivostuneen, kun huumeet loppui.
Mulle ei todellakaan tullut tästä sellainen olo, että " mitä joku yksi tukistus on tällaisen rinnalla" , vaan ihan päinvastoin: Voi, kun yhdenkään maailman lapsen ei tarvitsisi kokea ollenkaan väkivaltaa.
