A Gravesend resident, Jan Gholami, aged 33, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his adopted child, two-year-old Zahra Ghulami. Gholami will have to serve a minimum of 23 years and six months before being considered for parole. His partner, Roqia Ghulami, aged 32, has been jailed for two years for child neglect.
The tragic incident unfolded on 27 May 2020, when Zahra Ghulami was taken to the hospital with severe head injuries. She tragically passed away two days later. Gholami and Ghulami had adopted Zahra from Afghanistan, their country of origin, before relocating to the United Kingdom.
