Kuala Lumpur - A Sudanese man was charged in a Malaysian court Friday with the murder of his girlfriend's three-year-old daughter, who was also believed to have been sodomised before she was killed.

Mohannad Taha Ismail, 24, was charged in a magistrate's court in the central Selangor state with murdering 3-year-old Aaliyah Ayman Hussin Abdullah, who was found dead with a cracked skull.

On October 12, Aaliyah's mother returned from work to find the girl's body sprawled on the floor of their apartment in the capital Kuala Lumpur.

The victim's mother together with the suspect, who had been living with them for a year, then lodged a report claiming that their maid had hurt the girl and then ran away.

However, police discovered that the couple did not employ a maid and they were detained shortly after.

Police had said initial post mortem results indicated that Aaliyah had been sodomised, and that she had died from a fractured skull. She was also found to have bruises on her body.

Mohannad Taha did not record a plea after the charges were read out, the Star daily said. The judge fixed January for hearing of the case.

If found guilty of murder, he faces the death sentence by hanging.
