A mother and her grandmother have been charged in connection with the death of a 17-month-old girl in the West Midlands. Faiza Hassan, 36, is accused of murdering her daughter, who died on April 9, 2023, after an incident at a property on Castle Hill. Emergency services were called to the address by paramedics around 5:20 pm, but the child was pronounced dead later that day. A post-mortem examination revealed she had suffered multiple injuries. West Midlands Police confirmed that both Faiza Hassan and her mother, Sahra Hassan, 61, have been charged with several offenses. Faiza Hassan faces eight charges of wounding with intent between November 2022 and April 2023, as well as charges of child cruelty against the 17-month-old girl and another child during the same period. Sahra Hassan is accused of allowing the death of the toddler and of child cruelty. Both women appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court on September 10. Faiza Hassan was remanded in custody, meaning she will remain in prison until her next court appearance, while Sahra Hassan was granted conditional bail, which means she can be released under certain conditions. Both are scheduled to reappear at Wolverhampton Crown Court on October 9. The case has drawn attention due to the severity of the charges and the young age of the victim. The court proceedings will likely involve further evidence and testimony to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the child’s death and the roles each defendant played.
