A man who abused his 12-year-old step daughter has had the final two years of a 15-year sentence suspended after undertaking to actively engage in therapeutic supports, including anger management.

The 32-year-old man, who strangled an ex-girlfriend to death in his native country, was convicted earlier this year by a Central Criminal Court jury of continually beating and twice raping his step daughter. The court heard the man had told the child he would find her and kill her if he went to jail.
