Wadeema's dad says cops are lying about 'torture flat'
A father accused of torturing and killing his eight-year-old daughter with the help of his girlfriend has claimed cops are lying about the conditions they found in his flat.
Hamad Saod allegedly murdered his daughter Wadeema and subjected his other child, Meyra, seven, to horrific abuse.
Police officers have described the family’s studio apartment in International City, Dubai, as unfit for humans to live in.

The father accused of torturing and killing Wadeema (pictured) says police are to blame for creating mess at ‘torture’ flat
But 29-year-old Emirati Saod told Dubai Court of First Instance yesterday: “They took the oath that by the name of God they will say the truth, why they are telling lies?”
He added; “They (police) came to the flat but they created the mess.” Saod’s 27-year-old lover Al Anood Mohammad Al Ameri was also in court carrying her newborn baby boy.
She stands accused of also abusing the girls and made mocking remarks to journalists in the courtroom.
During a previous hearing, drama had broken out when Saod tried to attack a witness.
He launched himself at the policeman when the witness said the pair used to lock Wadeema and her sister in the bathroom while the couple had sex. Al Anood joined in and started insulting the witness.
Dubai Public Prosecution have asked for the death sentence in the case. Prosecutors say the couple burned the girls with irons and cigarettes, poured boiling water on them and beat them with bars and electrical wires.
Saod has denied murdering Wadeema and Al Anood claims she worked alone to abuse the young girls. The judge adjourned the case until January 20 when two defence witnesses will give evidence.

“Hamad Saod you are and will be a murderer ! you have allowed your girlfriend to actually touch " your " kids from another mother ! If you weren't a murderer than how on earth did the innocent kids get tortured ? and why on earth will you attack the Lieutenant ?
Miskeena Mayra had suffered enough ! she was tortured not stop and actually watched her older sister's body being wrapped in a white cloth so you guys can go and bury her without anyone being informed ?? Mayra will take a long time to digest the pain she has seen.
You're no man for standing up for your responsibilities or admit you were wrong ! that means you are cold stone that don't care about your own angels ..
Anoud has gotten a baby boy ! would you accept that baby boy being tortured to death ? since you both " will " be imprisoned for life ? NO you wont allow it.
Wadeema ( may her soul rest in peace )was in the same school as my little sister before her disappearance. I would really like to meet Mayra and stand by her side with her mother to ease the pain they're both going through till today !
I really hope you both have the worse punishment. And this should allow everyone in UAE to open their eyes if they harm any human does not matter what age are they ? this will be your punishment.
Wadeema is still and will always be in out heart. She is finally in peace and Allah has taken her away from the devils.
Meyra and her mother will always have love and support from all of us.
Meyra is finally safe and back with her beloved mother that hopefully will be able to go through their lives without so much pain.”
