Mary Shipstone was shot in the head by her father as she stood on her own doorstep
next to her mother, clutching a new violin, after she returned from
school in September last year. She was taken to King's College Hospital, London, but later died of her injuries.
According
to Daily Mirror, her father, Yasser Alromisse, 46, was hidden in the
rear of a silver
Toyota on the drive by the house, in Northiam, near Rye, East Sussex,
when he fired the shot.
The car windows were tinted and he had created a
blind from bin bags to shield himself. His body was later found in a
pool of blood in the rear of the car, where he had shot himself in the
head.
Lyndsey, Mary's mother who had recently moved into a
safe house in the area after domestic violence caused her to separate
from her husband because she did not want be traced by Alromisse
following the collapse of their marriage, told the inquest the killing
was an "act of revenge".
"Why did he kill Mary?
I don't think I will ever really know that." she said."He wanted to
kill himself and for some reason he thought she shouldn't live without
him. It was an act of revenge really. It has got to be. If he really
loved her, he never would have murdered her. I was the one he hated the
most."
The court heard he hired private detective Paul Parton
in May 2014 to try and track her down but Mr Parton was unable to locate
Lyndsey and later withdrew his services because of his concerns over Alromisse's motives.
Coroner
Alan Craze said it was not clear how Alromisse eventually found the
address. He described the murder as a "thoroughly despicable act of
violence. It was not in any way spontaneous. It was pre-meditated over a
long period of time."
