Man convicted of manslaughter over death of his three-week-old son

Kadees Mohammed was found guilty of manslaughter following the death of his baby boy Ibrahim. 

Ibrahim is said to have sustained serious head injuries at his home in Sparkhill on October 18, 2022. 

Birmingham Crown Court heard how Mohammed had been 'a caring husband and father', but had started acting out of character. Steps to assess his mental health had been started around that time.

Mohammed, aged 31 of Dovey Road, denied murder and manslaughter.

However, he was convicted of manslaughter on the basis of diminished responsibility and two counts of wounding after others were injured at the address.

He was remanded into a secure mental health facility ahead of sentencing in

A tribute from Ibrahim's mother said: “My beautiful Ibrahim, I am missing you a lot today.

"My love for you is eternal. I know that you are no longer with me but your precious belongings are so dear to me.

"I imagine how life would have been with you by my side. I would have watched you grow, laughed with you and wiped your tears.

"You will remain in my memories for the rest of my life like a beautiful flower. Love from your mum."
