Father murdered adopted two-year-old by ‘bashing her head against wall’
A father took out his “bad temper” on his adopted two-year-old daughter, who was murdered after he bashed her head against a wall.
Jan Gholami, 33, has been found guilty of murdering Zahra Ghulami at the family’s Gravesend home in May 2020, just one year after the toddler left Afghanistan to come and live in the UK.
Jurors heard that Zahra had suffered a skull fracture caused by “significant impact with significant energy” and was pronounced dead in hospital two days later.
