8-year-old Malika Noor Al Katib who was killed in New Ross on Sunday will be laid this week.
Imam Rashid Munir of the Waterford Islamic Centre says Malikas mother will attend the burial…
“Thanks to Allah, that mother, she’s out of danger now, she’s not in critical condition, but she’s in bits. Obviously, it’s not easy. If somebody has to suffer this, no one wants to do
that. It’s very sad, nobody wants to bury their own child.”
