'I forgive killer but not police who took photos of my girls'

THE GRIEVING mother of two murdered sisters says she can never forgive the police officers who took pictures of the bodies and shared them in a WhatsApp group chat.

But Mina Smallman said she had forgiven Danyal Hussein, the man who stabbed daughters Nicole Smallman and Bibaa Henry to death in a London park in June 2020, and does not feel "hatred" towards him.

However, she said the Met Police officers who sent photos of their bodies, including some with selfies, had "violated" the victims, meaning she could never let it go.

She has also told in a new book how she tried to take her own life when she learned that the two officers had been released from jail.

She said: "I just thought, 'I don't want to be here. I've had enough'. And yeah I attempted suicide."

The former Church of England archdeacon told how she let out a howl when she was told her daughters had been killed.
