‘The prosecution suggests that Mohammad Kabir, when he tried to take her away, can only have had some sexual purpose. ‘He talked to her and led her away to a secluded cul-de-sac, Cheverel Place, where he raped her, sexually assaulted her and took indecent images of her. Mr Oscroft said the girl’s claim was ‘such an obvious lie’ that it was clear from Mulakhil’s reaction that he did not believe her. Mulakhil was also in contact with Kabir, Mr Oscroft said, and their discussions appeared to be about their alleged victim. Investigators also found Mulakhil’s DNA on the girl’s neck and on the inside of her clothing, Mr Oscroft said.
