- JOHN HAND

• Monster Syed tortured his wife
• Strangled her twice say, family

TRAGIC Seema Banu suffered physical and mental torture from her evil husband who tried to strangle her before he finally killed her and their children.

Brutal Sameer Syed had carried out a campaign of terror against his wife as she planned to flee to India to get away from the monster, her family said last night.

Her elderly mother, four brothers, and three sisters have been left devastated since Syed took his own life in the Midlands Prison in Co Laois.

The coward strangled Seema, 37, her daughter Asfira Riza, 11, and six-year-old son Faizan Syed at her home in Llewellyn Court, Rathfarnham, Dublin, in October 2020.

Syed, 38, was due to stand trial at the Central Criminal Court on the three murder charges next week – and gardai were confident he would have been found guilty.

Speaking from India Seema’s nephew Kashief Ahmed, 25, revealed the family’s pain and anger declaring: “We deserved justice. He’s taken his own life, why did he kill them if he was killing himself?

“Our family are shocked and grieving. There are no answers for us.

“Seema’s brothers and sisters are very upset and very angry.

“Seema’s mother is too weak. She is crying as we are unable to get justice.”
