Two days after the 15-month-old’s body was found, it has emerged her short life was one of “dysfunction and violence”.
The Age has reported Sanaya was in “close contact” with two violent men in the week before she died.
One of the men is reportedly charged with serious domestic violence offences, including assault with a weapon. Neither man can be named for legal reasons.
Police are still searching for the man Sanaya’s mother Sofina Nikat claims snatched her daughter from her pram as she walked in Melbourne’s popular Olympic Park on Saturday morning.
But they are also expected to examine Sanaya’s relationship with the above mentioned men.
Earlier today, it was reported an autopsy had revealed Sanaya was smothered to death.
The Herald Sun also claimed an ambulance had been called to treat Sanaya one week before her body was found in a nearby creek.
