In a moving tribute to his mother, Yazan Rania described as a 'fantastic and very nice person'.
“She was a very nice person and she was just all that a child could ask when it comes to their mother.”
Yazan, who now visits his father every three months, remembers that his parents sometimes argue and go to a police station when his mother died.
He said: 'I would sometimes have arguments here in the house where we lived at the time.
“When the incident happened, I remember that I went to a police station in Manchester – I don't know where my little sister was at the time. We were then told and were put in foster care. '
His mother, Rania grew up in refugee camps in Syria, where she met Al-Khatib, who was nine years older than she was. They married later when she was 15 and moved to the UK in 2005.
During the Al-Khatib process on Manchester Crown Court, he became more and more jealous and checked her from years of domestic and sexual violence from Alayed and subjected her.
In January 2013 she reported him to the police for domestic violence, obtained a non-molestation warrant and moved to a homeless hostel with Yazan and his two brothers and sisters.
Al-Khatib then killed Rania in the flat of his brother in Salford, Greater Manchester and even posed like her on social media and sent her family, trying to pretend she was alive.
