Mother of Sanaya Sahib confesses to toddler’s murder
Quote:Quote:
THE mother of 14-month-old Sanaya Sahib has confessed to the murder of her toddler after she was charged by homicide detectives today.
While Victoria Police released few details over the arrest, they confirmed a 22-year-old woman from Heidelberg West had been charged with one count of murder.
The child was found dead in Darebin Creek early on Sunday morning.
Sofina Nikat faced an out of sessions court hearing at approximately 5:45pm.
The court heard Ms Nikat made a “full confession to the murder” of her baby girl, Homicide Detective Senior Sergeant Stuart Bailey told the bail justice.
She had been held in a secret location by police for the last few days and was reportedly in the care of social workers.
Channel Nine aired footage of the woman being escorted from the hearing.
The network reported there was speculation the book Ms Nikat was clutching was a copy of the Koran.
The family of the deceased said they had no comment when asked if they knew of the recent developments, but according to Channel Ten crime reporter Sharnelle Vella, “police phoned the family a short time ago alerting them to the fact she [Sofina] had been charged”.

The Herald Sun understands the post mortem is expected to show that the little girl died of smothering, though according to The Project, the family deny that claim.
“Investigators are no longer looking for anyone else in relation to this investigation,” police said.
They refused to go into any further detail over the allegations surrounding the woman.

Sanaya’s body was found in a creek about 2.45am Sunday, hours after her mother Sofina Nikat claimed a shoeless African man smelling of alcohol abducted her 14-month-old daughter while she was walking with her in Melbourne’s Olympic Park on Saturday afternoon.
No independent witnesses had come forward to confirm the 22-year-old mother’s account.
A post mortem is expected to show she died of smothering, however police media said the results have not been finalised.

It comes as Channel Seven claims they have obtained CCTV footage of a woman pushing her pram toward the creek, only to return with it empty.
“Police have spent the last few days scouring through evidence that has come to rise, including in that evidence, something Channel 7 News has witnessed this afternoon, which is CCTV of the woman pushing her pram towards Darebin Creek and then returning with an empty pram from Darebin Creek,” reporter Karen O’Sullivan told Nick McCallum on Melbourne’s 3AW.
The CCTV was taken from security camera vision outside a resident’s house nearby.
“The woman clearly is walking with a pram, it’s difficult to determine immediately what is in the pram as she walks towards the park and towards the road that leads to Darebin Creek.
“However on the way back, the pram is clearly empty.”
Police have not commented on what — if anything — was captured on CCTV cameras located near the park where the abduction took place.
I'm speechless. RIP little one.
