Sabina Nessa’s sister says outcry would have been greater if she were white

Jebina Yasmin Islam blames ethnicity for initial lack of headlines over murder, and also criticises Priti Patel

The murder of Sabina Nessa would have provoked a more intense public outcry if the primary school teacher had been white, her relatives have said, as they accused the home secretary of exploiting her death for publicity.

Nessa's sister, Jebina Yasmin Islam, said there had been no support from the government, describing people in senior positions as useless, and saying the murder of Sarah Everard six months before that of Nessa had received more press coverage.
