Sabina Nessa's sister Jebina Yasmin Islam

THE sister of murdered primary school teacher Sabina Nessa has hit out at the government for failing to support her family in the wake of the death. 

Koci Selamaj, 36, was sentenced to at least 36 years in prison last Friday for murdering Nessa, 28, in a south-east London park on September 17 last year. 

Her sister, Jebina Yasmin Islam, told the BBC that the government has “said nothing” to them and accused Home Secretary Priti Patel of using her sister’s name for “publicity reasons.”
