Father Found Guilty of Manslaughter in the Death of His Seven-Week-Old Daughter

HALIFAX - A judge convicted a Halifax man Friday in the death of his baby daughter, finding the new father slapped, shook and tossed her after becoming frustrated by a series of business failures and the cries of his child.

Nova Scotia Supreme Court Judge Felix Cacchione found Ashiqur Rahman guilty of manslaughter and aggravated assault, and described him as a manipulative, domineering man who controlled much of what happened in his home.

Cacchione said Rahman, who's in his late 20s, had little interest in his new baby and was solely focused on starting an online business in Canada after moving here from Bangladesh.
