Rashid Ulla, a toddler tragically shot in the head by his five year old sister, has died. The five year old had turned her father’s loaded gun on the toddler whilst he turned his back on it to take a mobile phone call.
Worryingly, the police are reported by the Guardian as treating the case as a “tragic accident” rather than manslaughter by gross negligence.
This comes off the back of a case reported last year by the BBC of Ellie Lawrensen, whose grandmother was charged with her manslaughter and later acquitted after a dog she allowed into the house mauled her granddaughter to death.
We hope the police will investigate Rashid’s death with the same zeal it did Ellie’s.
