The parents in the Irish nanny murder case have spoken of their ‘unimaginable pain’ after the death of their one-year-old daughter.
Cavan born Aisling McCarthy Brady faces homicide charges after the death of Rehma Sabir from injuries sustained in her Quincy family home.
Now Rehma’s parents have released a statement describing the ‘sorrow and suffering’ they have endured since their daughter’s death.
The Irish Independent reports that Sameer Sabir and his wife Nada Siddiqui are being comforted by family and friends as fresh details emerge about the one-year-old’s death.
Nanny McCarthy Brady remains in a Boston jail as she awaits a murder charge after the baby died from severe head injuries.
A statement released by the Middlesex district attorney after talks with the parents said: ““The family of this child is going through unimaginable pain and suffering and their wellbeing remains a priority for us.
“Very few can fully understand the sorrow and pain that they are enduring, and we need to allow them the appropriate time and support they require to cope with this tragedy.”
The report adds that baby’s father, Sameer Sabir, is a British-born entrepreneur. Her mother, Nada Siddiqui, is a Princeton-educated financial analyst who is originally from Pakistan.
Ireland’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Eamonn Gilmore has confirmed that officials from his department have made consular assistance available to McCarthy Brady.

I think this investigation is still in it's early phase. I am sure the parents are still "persons of interests" to the police as is the nanny. In earlier articles it was stated that the child had older injuries still in the process of healing. I would think that if the nanny did those also that the parents would have noticed something amiss previously. This case could go either way and is a long way from trial and conviction. Remember the previous "Nanny" case with the English girl, several years ago - the jury exonerated her even though the American press had her convicted. There is more to this story than the police have released.

it is a very tough situation for parents who selected this person to care for their child..there must be a lot of guilt to begin with and self doubting as to how they decided that this a safe situation for their child..
