The Discovery of Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman

• 💔 On June 6th, 2020, sisters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman were celebrating Bibaa's birthday in Fryant Country Park, London.
• 🌃 After midnight, they were the last ones remaining, dancing under fairy lights, unaware they were being watched by their future attacker.
• 📱 The last text from Nicole to her boyfriend was at 10:05 a.m. stating, "I'm dancing in a field," before they disappeared.

The Investigation and Discovery

• 🚨 The sisters were reported missing by their family, but police failed to visit the park the following day, prompting friends and family to search themselves.
• 🕶️ Adam Stone, Nicole's boyfriend, found their sunglasses and a bloody knife, leading to the discovery of the sisters' bodies intertwined in nearby overgrowth.
• 🔪 Post-mortem examinations revealed Bibaa sustained eight stab wounds and Nicole suffered 28 stab wounds, with defensive injuries on Nicole suggesting she fought back.

Identifying the Killer: Daniel Hussein

• 🩸 DNA evidence from the crime scene, including blood on various items and the victims, led investigators to Daniel Hussein.
• 📸 Security footage showed Hussein returning home after the murders wearing only a jacket around his waist and concealing one hand, which bore fresh, deep wounds.
• 📜 A handwritten contract signed in blood, promising to perform sacrifices to a demon named Lucifuge Roof, was found in Hussein's bedroom, along with research into Satanism and the occult.

The Influence of E.A. Koetting and Satanism

• 📚 Investigations revealed Hussein's online activity, including research into far-right extremism, Satanism, and the occult, with a spike in interest during COVID lockdown.
• 📖 He was influenced by the writings of E.A. Koetting (Matthew Joseph Lawrence), a satanic author who promoted violent curses and murder in his books and courses.
• 💸 Koetting's teachings, which promised wealth and power in exchange for sacrifices, directly inspired Hussein's demon pact and his belief system.

Trial, Conviction, and Police Misconduct

• ⚖️ Daniel Hussein was convicted of two counts of murder and possessing an offensive weapon, receiving two concurrent 35-year jail sentences.
• 📸 Two Metropolitan Police officers, Dennis Jaffer and Jaime Lewis, were found guilty of gross misconduct for taking inappropriate photographs of the victims' bodies and sharing them in WhatsApp groups.
• 😔 Mina Smallman, the victims' mother, found it easier to forgive the murderer than the officers, describing their actions as a "betrayal of such catastrophic proportions."

Systemic Failures and Lasting Impact

• ⏳ The initial police investigation was criticized for delays and potential bias, with Mina Smallman questioning if race played a role in the lack of urgency.
• 🏛️ An inquiry found the murder investigation was below standard, with a missing persons log incorrectly closed and searches beginning 12 hours late.
• 🕊️ Despite the immense pain, Mina Smallman advocates for change and forgiveness, establishing awards in her daughters' names to create a lasting legacy.
