Ahmed Hussein Ibrahim was sentenced to 12 years in prison in the death of his daughter.
A twisted Washington state dad who was obsessed with a video game brutally beat his 8-month-old daughter to death with an Xbox controller.
Ahmed Hussein Ibrahim, drunk and high when he broke little Nawal's skull with the controller in November of 2014, was sentenced to 12 years in prison on Friday.
"I don’t remember what happened that night," Ibrahim told a social worker hired by his defense, according to court records
obtained by the SeattlePI. "My demons came out. ... the last thing I remember is that I put my baby to sleep and woke up to the nightmare."
Nawal's mother arrived at the Burien, Wash., home to find Ibrahim sleeping on the sofa with the dead child. After Ibrahim woke up, he wanted to put her daughter's body in the garbage, but Nawal's mother prevented him.
Ibrahim, now 29, later tried to point blame for Nawal's death on his 2-year-old daughter.

Ibrahim was obsessed with the video game Destiny.
“It is undeniable that Mr. Ibrahim’s mental state played a role,” public defender Edwin Aralica said in court papers obtained by the PI. “While hard to predict, intervention including mental health and substance abuse treatment may have prevented this tragic incident.”
Ibrahim's mental illness led him to be obsessed with the video game Destiny, a psychiatric said, according to the newspaper. Destiny is described on its website as a "next generation first person shooter" game set in the future.
“It is my opinion that he was in the throes of a psychotic process at the time that Nawal died,” Dr. Seth Cohen said in court papers. "Destiny had become Mr. Ibrahim’s reality, and any possible violent behavior on his part at that time would have been a reflection of the warfare that he was involved with in the context of the 'Destiny' battlefield.”
