Toddler's Death: Mother Admits Killing Infant Daughter
13 Feb
Summary
- Mother admitted to causing her daughter's death by shaking.
- Toddler Omra died from catastrophic head injuries.
- Trial took place at Manchester Crown Court in January 2026.
A mother admitted to causing the death of her two-year-old daughter, Omra Wali Jan, who was born in Afghanistan and later moved to Levenshulme. The toddler tragically died on February 9, 2024, as a result of catastrophic head injuries, with paediatric pathologists confirming the cause. The court heard that the mother, Naim, inflicted these injuries after initially claiming Omra had choked on a biscuit.
Throughout multiple accounts given to authorities starting on November 30, 2023, Naim's story evolved. She eventually stated she had shaken Omra in an attempt to dislodge a biscuit. However, expert medical evidence presented to the court contradicted her claims, indicating the injuries were sustained from violent shaking.
