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."

Ed Miliband has accused David Cameron of "cowering from the public" after the Prime Minister ruled out a head-to-head TV debate.

The Labour leader told Mr Cameron it was time to "stop ducking and weaving and name the date".

Last night the Prime Minister issued an ultimatum to broadcasters saying he will only take part in one 90-minute TV election debate with at least seven party leaders before the end of March - ruling out going toe-to-toe with Mr Miliband.

The move has sparked an angry response and Mr Cameron has been accused of "moral cowardice", being "frit" and of trying to "bully" broadcasters.

Mr Miliband said: "It is now clear that David Cameron is ducking the debate with me. He is cowering from the public.

"The British people deserve this debate. I'll debate him any time, any place, anywhere."

But Mr Cameron denied the claim he was "cowering" from the British public and said he was putting forward a proposal which "unlocked the logjam the broadcasters caused".

He said: "I haven't put hurdles in the way, the broadcasters came up with a series of proposals that other people realised were flawed."

He added that he and Mr Miliband would continue to face off against each other at Prime Minister's Questions every week until the election.

The Electoral Reform Society has said it would be a "national embarrassment" if the debates did not take place.

Chief Executive of the Electoral Reform Society Katie Ghose said: "Compared to other advanced democracies around the world, Britain has been extremely late to the party when it comes to TV debates.

"It would be a national embarrassment if we end up being the first to leave that party as well. No TV debates in 2015 would be a backward step in terms of our democratic development."

Nick Clegg has suggested he take the Prime Minister's place at the head-to-head with Mr Miliband.

Speaking on his weekly LBC radio phone-in he said: "Having been in government for five years, I also have this old-fashioned view that I want to defend the record of this Government.

"If David Cameron is too busy or too important to defend the record of this Government with Ed Miliband, then I offer myself. I'll do it instead."

Tony Blair's former spokesman Alastair Campbell accused Mr Cameron of "weasling and wriggling" out of the debates and said he was guilty of "moral cowardice".

He said: "He doesn't want to do it. He is worried that he is going to lose."

And he added: "I think it underlines the utter contempt David Cameron actually has for people."

Lib Dem election campaign leader Lord Ashdown told Sky News Mr Cameron's proposals amounted to a "90-minute, bite-size squabblefest" and accused the Prime Minister of being "frit".

But Mr Cameron claims the public already knows what the Conservative and Labour proposals are.

The Prime Minister's final offer on the debates, which he said in 2010 were vital to democracy, was made in a letter sent to Sue Inglish, the chair of the broadcasters' leaders' debates committee, by his communications director Craig Oliver.

In a joint statement the broadcasters said: "The broadcasters are committed to providing our audiences with election debates. 22 million people watched the debates in 2010 and we believe the debates helped people to engage with the election."

The BBC and ITV have proposed each staging a debate involving Mr Cameron, Mr Miliband, Nick Clegg, the Greens' Natalie Bennett, Nigel Farage of UKIP, the SNP's Nicola Sturgeon and Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood.

A Sky News social media poll found 79% of people would be less likely to vote for a party leader who refused to take part in a debate.

Stepbrother Of Becky Watts Appears In Court

The stepbrother of Bristol teenager Becky Watts has been remanded in custody charged with her murder.

Nathan Matthews, appearing at Bristol Magistrates' Court, spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth.

Becky, 16, disappeared from her home in the St George area of the city on 19 February.

Matthews - unshaven and wearing a blue T-shirt - was handcuffed to a dock officer and led away after a one-minute hearing.

The 28-year-old will appear before Bristol Crown Court via video link on Friday.

His girlfriend, Shauna Hoare, 21, appeared after him in the same packed courtroom, charged with perverting the course of justice.

She was remanded in custody to appear before Bristol Crown Court on 2 April.

Four men and a woman in their 20s, who were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, remain in police custody after officers were given more time to question them.

On Tuesday, police said they had found body parts at an address in the city after a massive search for the teenager that started on 20 February when her family reported her missing.

She left her house without telling anyone where was going, taking her phone, laptop and tablet computer, but not a change of clothes.

Becky's family members, including her uncles and aunt, have laid tributes at her home.

In an earlier statement, her mother Tania Watts, brother Daniel and grandmother Pat said they were "at an utter loss to understand why anyone would want to hurt our beautiful Becky in such a brutal way".

Former City Worker 'Smashing' Islamic State

A former Young Conservative who gave up his City job to fight Islamist militants in Iraq has told Sky News he has had "amazing success" in fierce battles with Islamic State.

'Macer Gifford', who is operating under an assumed name, left in December to join the Kurdish People's Protection Unit (YPG) in northern Iraq, insisting he would not be taken alive by the enemy.

Speaking of his latest battle he said: "We completely smashed them. We've taken a huge amount of land from ISIS (Islamic State) and had some amazing successes over the past week or so.

"The firefights are very one sided and we've been overrunning their positions quickly because they don't have heavy weaponry. When we ambush them they're not expecting us at all."

The 28-year-old, who spoke to Sky News from the Iraqi town of Tel Hamis, claimed the fear and violence spread by IS was leading to inaction in the West and he felt he had to do something.

"I had a regular job in the City and was watching with horror what was coming out of Iraq as I know everyone else was. I believe in British values and democracy so I made the decision to come here and help in any way I can.

"My family haven't taken my decision very well. I call my mum whenever I can get a signal and she's obviously concerned for my welfare but I have no immediate plans to come back."

Mr Gifford fought alongside 25-year-old former Royal Marine Konstandinos Scurfield who was killed in Iraq's northern province of Hasakah last week, and 28-year-old Australian Ashley Johnson who was killed days earlier.

Mr Scurfield's family said they were devastated to learn of his death, adding they were "reeling" and "struggling to get our heads around everything".

A statement released by the family said: "His flame might have burned briefly but it burned brightly with love, courage, conviction and honour and we are very proud of him."

Mr Gifford said: "I trained with Ash a month ago and on the first day of our last operation we lost 10 people, including him. He was shot twice in the chest just 20 metres from IS fighters.

"Konstandinos collected his body. Every time there was fighting he would go in and pick up the dead bodies.

"I've no idea what would happen if I were captured; but what about the thousands of Yazidi women that have already been captured and used as sex slaves in Raqqa? Isn't that enough to put boots on the ground?"

Mr Gifford's decision to fight IS mirrors that of Britons Jamie Read and James Hughes who claimed to have spent three weeks on the front line alongside Kurdish forces last year.

They were questioned by police on their return but, unlike other Britons that have travelled to fight in the Syrian civil war, they were not arrested.

A man has admitted a "callous and sickening" mugging in which he knocked down a 93-year-old pensioner for just £5.

Soloman Bygraves - described as "dangerous" by his defence solicitor - entered his guilty plea at Southwark Crown Court.

Stanley Evans' case made headlines after he was followed into a communal area of a block of flats in London's Soho and attacked.

He managed to struggle to his feet after five minutes on the floor and dialled 999. He suffered a shoulder injury but did not require hospital treatment.

Police released CCTV of the robbery after the attack on 31 January.

Bygraves, 29 and of no fixed address, wore a grey tracksuit as he admitted the crime via videolink from Wandsworth Prison.

John Causer, defending, said he had a lengthy criminal record, including three convictions for robbery.

He added: "The court will wish to consider the issue of dangerousness. There is a background of mental health issues and drug issues."

Mr Evans insists he is "not afraid to go out", but says his injuries could have been a lot worse.

"I could have slipped and knocked my head, and for a person to attack an older person like me, it deserves prison because older people can't defend themselves and they know that and it's taking advantage of that."

"The worst part of it was the surprise," he said.

"But it hasn't affected me physically or psychologically, I'm not afraid to go out - I've been here for 50 years."

The judge remanded Soloman Bygraves in custody to be sentenced on 13 April.
