A sadistic mother who subjected her eight-year-old daughter to "a life of cruelty that defies belief" has been jailed for her killing.

Little Ayesha Ali was found dead at her home in East London with more than 50 injuries to her head, body and limbs.

These included bite marks and carpet burns.

Her mum, 35-year-old Polly Chowdhury, was sentenced to 13 years for manslaughter.

Chowdhury's lesbian lover, Kiki Muddar, got 18 years for the same offence after dealing the fatal blow in August 2013.

The trial heard that the women had a bizarre relationship, with Muddar using fictional Facebook characters to control Chowdhury.

Ayesha was terrorised at night by the pair wearing nightmarish masks.

A few days before the killing, a neighbour heard the little girl screaming, sobbing and pleading with her mother: "Amah, I don't want to be bad; Amah, Amah, I don't want to be bad."

Judge Christopher Moss QC said Ayesha's final months were "a life of cruelty and misery that defies belief".

The judge described Muddar, 43, as a "manipulative and wicked woman" who "entered the world of this family and tore it apart".

She sent 40,000 text messages in the process of brainwashing Chowdhury into thinking her daughter was "evil" and had "bad blood".

In a recorded phone conversation with a friend a month before the killing, Muddar described Ayesha as a "witch" and threatened to drown her in the bath.

Both Muddar, of Green Lane, Ilford, and Chowdhury, of Broomfield Road, Chadwell Heath, had denied murder, manslaughter and causing or allowing the death of a child.

Judge Moss paid tribute to the "courage and personal restraint" of Ayesha's father, Afsar Ali, who attended every day of the trial to hear what his daughter went through.

The trial heard Chowdhury tried to keep him away through court orders at the time she was abusing Ayesha.

"It's completely destroyed my life from now until I die," Mr Ali said.

"She loved life and her family and all she wanted was to be part of a happy family. I was her superhero, her super daddy.

"The reason why I wanted to attend every day was I wanted to relive Ayesha's life, feel the pain. I don't think I can ever imagine what she had to go through."
