I've put Charlene in the kebabs

A KEBAB shop boss butchered a girl of 14 — then joked he had put her in takeaways, a court heard yesterday.
Jordanian immigrant Eddie Albattikhi, 29, killed and chopped up schoolgirl Charlene Downes after having sex with her, a jury was told.
He was allegedly heard making his sick joke about the Blackpool youngster — who vanished 3½ years ago and whose body was never found — as he and pals drooled about having sex with white girls.

Prosecutor Tim Holroyde QC said: “He and others present were laughingly saying that Charlene had gone into the kebabs.”
Cops bugged the flat and car of chum Mohammed Reveshi — co-owner of the Funny Boyz fast food restaurant in Blackpool.

Mr Holroyde said Albattikhi admitted on tape: “I killed her. I was just angry. There is nothing left of her.”

His brother Tariq is said to have told a witness Charlene was “killed, chopped up and there had been a lot of blood”. Charlene’s parents, two sisters and brother wept as extracts from the police bugs were played to Preston Crown Court.

They heard Albattikhi brand the schoolgirl a “f****** bitch.”

He denies murdering Charlene. Iranian-born Reveshi, 50, denies helping to dispose of her body.

The court heard Charlene and other adolescent girls would go to an alley at night to romp with older men from the resort’s restaurants.
Cops quizzed Albattikhi and Reveshi after Charlene went missing and both denied knowing her.

But Mr Holroyde said that Albattikhi’s overheard conversation with his pals — during which he made his kebab joke — proved this was untrue.
He said: “These people were talking about sex with white girls, and there was mention of having sex with Charlene.

“Albattikhi laughed and said she was kinky and she was very small — the plainest possible indication that he was lying to the police when he said he did not know her.”
Another reference to Charlene having been turned into take-aways was said to have been made in a bugged conversation in Reveshi’s car. Mr Holroyde said: “There was talk of eating the body or selling it in kebabs.” The trial continues.
