Mother in court in connection with four-month-old baby’s death in Bow
An 18-year-old mother appeared in court today charged in connection with the death of her four-month-old daughter.
Iman Hamza Dean Wyse, of Bow, appeared at Thames Magistrates’ Court accused of causing or allowing the death of a child and wilful neglect of two other children, aged three and 18 months, between March 13 and October 4.
The charges follow a call to police from the London Ambulance Service at around 5.30pm on Friday.
The baby girl, Amani Abdi, had been taken to hospital from the defendant’s home in Ackroyd Drive, and was pronounced dead at the hospital at around 5.45pm.
Officers from the Met’s homicide and major crimes unit then launched an investigation into the circumstances of her death.
