Abdallah family confirms heartwarming news

Three years after the tragic loss of their three children in a horrific car crash, Danny and Leila Abdallah have announced the are expecting another baby. 

In 2020, the Abdallah's life was turned upside down when their children Antony, 13, Angelina, 12, Sienna, eight, and their niece Veronique Sakr, 11, were hit by a car on their way to buy ice cream. 

The couple welcomed a baby girl in March 2022, and have now announced that their family is growing once again. 

Danny Abdallah announced the heartwarming news on 2GB on Wednesday morning saying, “Leila’s well, she’s pregnant again. I got one past the goalkeeper! And yeah, she’s been pretty busy with the kids.”

He said the family are “OK, as good as can be”.

With another baby on the way, the couple will be the parents of five children, as well as the three killed in the tragedy.

The crash that claimed the lives of the Abdallah children happened in December 2020, when Samuel William Davidson was driving recklessly and mounted the curb at high speed before striking the children in his ute. 

Davidson later pleaded guilty to four counts of manslaughter and charges related to injuries sustained by three other children involved in the crash.

Initially, he was sentenced in April 2021 to 28 years in prison, with a non-parole period of 21 years. 

However, in 2022, his sentence was reduced by the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal to 20 years, with a non-parole period of 15 years, as they deemed the original sentence excessively harsh.

Despite the devastating situation, the Abdallahs forgave the driver just days after he wiped out half of their family.

Mr Davidson thanked the family for their forgiveness, motivating him to change his ways while in prison.
