The three children and wife of Rachid Khadla (pictured above), 56, stood in a witness box and testified to the controlling dictatorship that he forced them to live under
A 'dictator' father who made his daughter sign a 'contract' promising never to get fat only allowed his family two baths a week and forced them to sit in the dark as they watched TV, a court heard.
The three children and wife of Rachid Khadla, 56, from Windsor, Berkshire, stood in a witness box and testified to the controlling 'dictatorship' that he forced them to live under.
The father, who is facing charges of child cruelty and assault, only let his family watch programmes he picked out and refused to let them watch advertisements for fear of indoctrination as they were forced to turn over to the BBC, a jury was told.
