When your young family lives in a sun-soaked city, it’s natural to want a fun way to cool off in your back garden. So Ahmed Dawood Seedat decided to have a swimming pool put in for his two children, aged two and five, to enjoy.
It was August 2018 and with summer on its way, the timing couldn’t have been better as he hired a local landscape gardener to dig a hole in preparation for the project.
South African-born Ahmed, 37, had been married to wife Fahima Yusuf, 32, for eight years. He was an accountant while Fahima, who was originally from Bolton, Lancashire, loved raising their two children at their home in Perth, Western Australia.
They lived a quiet life in their suburban home – but that didn’t mean there wasn’t plenty going on behind closed doors.
And there was a more sinister reason for him having the hole dug for the pool.
Ahmed had grown tired of his wife and said he was no longer attracted to her. He had been making regular visits to a prostitute for a long time and there were allegations that he was using his clients’ cash to pay for his sordid appointments.
Ahmed liked to gamble too and although he wasn’t very lucky, he seemed to have an infinite amount of cash. But there was something he really wanted that he didn’t have – Fahima’s sister.
Ahmed had developed a fascination with the sibling, who never saw their relationship as anything other than brother and sister. In August, while the hole in the back garden was being dug, the pair sent each other thousands of messages.
