Mother who starved daughter to death released early from prison
Angela Gordon, 42, admitted to killing her daughter Khyra Ishaq and subjecting five other children to horrific cruelty.
She was jailed for 15 years in February 2010, along with Khyra's stepdad Junaid Abuhamza who was given an indeterminate seven-and-a-half year minimum sentence.
Both had admitted to manslaughter,Daily Mail reports.
But it has recently emerged that Gordon was released from prison earlier this year- serving just seven years of her allocated time.
The victim's father Ishaq Abuzaire, 46, has slammed prison chiefs for releasing Gordon and claims no one from the Ministry of Justice warned him of his ex-wife's release.
'I got a letter from the NSPCC to say she had been released around April time but no one from the authorities has been in touch. It is ridiculous.During the trial Birmingham Crown Court heard how Khyra and five other children were beaten with a bamboo cane and drenched in water before being forced to stand outside in their underwear.
'I don't know where she is. I was never told. They only told me the month she would be released.
The children, whose identities have not been released, were fed from bowls in their upstairs bedroom and given tiny portions, or not fed at all.
Abuhamza, a Muslim covert, said that this was designed to teach them the 'Islamic perspective about being dutiful to your parents.'
Mr Abuzaire, who is from Duddeston, Birmingham, is 'still suffering' over the loss of his daughter. He split with Gordon in 2006.
