Azees Mohamed, 31, is accused of murdering and causing grievous bodily harm to his daughter Tahani who died of her injuries on New Years Day last year.
Mr Mohamed is also jointly charged with his wife Tabbasum with failing to provide the necessities of life.

He and his wife then discuss what Tasmia will say if she is asked what happened to baby Tahani, with the translation reading, 'Daddy hit slash killed her, Daddy will hit slash killed her.
