A mother in the UK repeatedly stabbed her young daughter before trying to dissolve her body in acid, a court has heard.

 

Police officers found the badly decomposed remains of three-year-old Alia Ahmed Jama on a bedroom floor of a rented home in Birmingham in February, after a tipoff from the girl's grandmother, the Daily Mail newspaper reports.

 

Iman Omar Yousef, a Somali asylum seeker, is now standing trial for the unlawful killing of her daughter.

 

She has been ruled unfit to enter a plea because three psychiatrists declared that she is schizophrenic and suffers from visual hallucinations.

 

Birmingham Crown Court yesterday heard that social workers visited Yousef's home on February 12 and found that Alia seemed "happy enough".

 

But later that night the 25-year-old mother took her daughter to the local police station and demanded new accommodation in a hostel, claiming that people who "abused" her in the past were trying to enter her home.

 

After being told no new accommodation was available, Yousef took the bus back to her home.

 

The next morning she visited her mother in Leicester — and raised suspicions when she arrived unaccompanied by Alia, whom she claimed was in "a safe place".

 

Yousef's mother — who was concerned about her daughter's mental health because she started talking to herself and carrying knives since moving to England from The Netherlands in 2007 — rang police.

 

Police forced their way into Yousef's home and reportedly found Alia's body covered in bin liners in a room thick with the smell of acid.

 

Birmingham Crown Court heard that the young girl was killed swiftly with "dozens of penetrating injuries of various shapes and sizes".

 

Knife imprints which went through the carpet and floorboards were matched to a large kitchen knife-type weapon, which police believe Yousef dumped somewhere on her way to Leicester the day after the alleged murder, the Mail reports.

 

After the alleged stabbing frenzy, Yousef is accused of pouring a substance believed to be sulphuric acid over her daughter's torso, which had "penetrated deeply" when police found her body, the court heard.

 

The trial continues.

Heartbreaking story. It's clear this woman is mentally sick, but wonder why her family(specially her mother) let her keep the baby if they already knew her condition.
