Hearing Commences for Suspects Charged with Sexually Assaulting a 12-Year-Old Child

In a recent development, Warwickshire County Council leader George Finch has expressed concerns about the transparency of the police and the Home Office regarding the immigration status of two individuals facing charges in a court case.

Ahmad Mulakhil and Mohammad Kabir are currently appearing in court for alleged crimes against a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton. Mulakhil is charged with rape, and Kabir is charged with kidnapping, strangulation, and aiding and abetting the rape of a minor. It has been reported that the individuals are believed to be asylum seekers, according to George Finch.

In a letter addressed to the Home Secretary, the Chief Constable of Warwickshire Police, and the council's chief executive, Finch raised concerns about communication lapses and the potential for residents to connect the men's reported asylum status to the case. The BBC has reached out to Warwickshire County Council for further comments on the case, but the search results do not contain information about the names of the individuals who allegedly did not confirm Finch, the chairman of Warwickshire County Council, as an independent member.

Warwickshire Police are urging anyone who was in the vicinity of Cheverel Street in Nuneaton from 20:30 to 21:45 BST on July 22 and may have witnessed relevant events to come forward. The police have stated that once someone is charged with an offence, they follow national guidance, which does not include sharing ethnicity or immigration status.

Warwickshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Philip Seccombe, has emphasized that law enforcement decisions must comply with national guidelines and legal obligations. Seccombe has refrained from speculating on the personal circumstances of those involved while the judicial process is ongoing.

Finch, however, believes that the only risk to public order from this case in Warwickshire comes from the cover-up itself. The BBC's attempts to verify Finch's claims about the immigration status of the suspects have not been independently confirmed.

The case is scheduled to appear at Warwick Crown Court on August 26. The public is reminded to let the legal process take its course and avoid speculation or judgement until all facts have been presented.
