Navsarka pleaded guilty at Bradford Crown Court to an alternative charge of failing to protect the child. | |
The girl had suffered more than 100 injuries before she died, jurors heard. | |
Julian Goose QC, prosecuting, told the court that Navsarka and Anwar were both responsible for Sanam's murder. | |
Girl punished | |
He said that whether it was "one or the other who actually inflicted the injuries, by doing nothing to help or save her over a four-week period up to her death amounted to encouragement and support for all of the violence that took place." | |

Mr Goose said: "Sanam had been in a great deal of pain and distress over a long period leading up to her death. | |
"By the time that the 999 call was made on May 8 Sanam had stopped walking, she had difficulty breathing and she had two fractured legs and both of her arms had been fractured." | |
The jury heard how Anwar, who was not Sanam's father, would punish the young girl by putting her in a dark cupboard and neighbours described hearing him swear at her. | |
The trial continues. |
