Jan Gholami was convicted of murdering his adopted daughter, Zahra Ghulami, who died after suffering a skull fracture. The tragic incident occurred at their home in Gravesend in May 2020, where Gholami, described as having a bad temper, reportedly assaulted Zahra by bashing her head against a wall. During the trial, he claimed he found her injured, but the jury rejected his defense. Gholami received a life sentence of at least 23 years, and his appeal was dismissed, confirming the conviction was safe. His wife was also found guilty of child neglect.
The evidence presented during the trial showed that Jan Gholami, driven by his bad temper, assaulted his adoptive daughter Zahra Ghulami, resulting in her tragic death.
Zahra Ghulami's case revealed neglect within the home, as the trial outlined the significant rivalry between her and Gholami's favored son, culminating in violence.
