Man Jailed In The UK For Tearing Liver Of 2-Year-Old Nigerian Girl Into Pieces

Little Amina Agboola lost her life after being assaulted by her mother's boyfriend

20-year-old Dean Harris has been sentenced to spend the next 17 years in prison after he was found guilty of murder.

Harris kicked 2-year-old Amina Agboola

Harris, who has a history of domestic violence was reportedly angered by the girl because she kept soiling herself.

The convict had been dating the girl's mother for just 5 months when he was left alone with her and caused her the injury which claimed her life.

Amina's father, Reuben Agboola, said:

'I am pleased with the sentence Dean Harris has received today. However the grief feels like it has no end. 'I go through the motions of living but inside I am somewhere else thinking about my daughter all the time.

'No one understands the pain except those people who are experiencing it. My heart reaches out to every parent on earth who is suffering the loss of a child.'

Harris has been sentenced to life imprisonment and is expected to spend at least 17 years behind bars. The victim's mother, Sarah Racqueman, was charged with child neglect but was acquitted of Amina's murder.
