Mother who 'threw her six-day-old baby down a tower block's 40ft rubbish chute meant to kill her'

A mother tried to kill her newborn daughter by dropping her more than 40ft down a tower block rubbish chute, a court heard yesterday. Jaymin Abdulrahman is alleged to have ‘completely swaddled’ the baby, put her in the chute, then tidied up her fifth-floor flat.

The girl was found – apparently lifeless – by her father later that day. She had suffered severe head and brain injuries, including several skull fractures.

Abdulrahman initially told police that the six-day-old girl had been kidnapped by strangers, the jury heard.
