Man guilty of manslaughter after baby son's death
A man has been found guilty of manslaughter after killing his three-week-old baby.
Kadees Mohammed, of Dovey Road, Birmingham, was charged with murder after his son Ibrahim suffered fatal head injuries on 18 October 2022.
But, following a trial at Birmingham Crown Court, a jury found him not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
The 31-year-old was also convicted of two counts of unlawful wounding when the jury returned their verdicts on Thursday.
The court previously heard Mohammed had been a caring husband and father but started acting out of character and efforts to examine his mental health had begun, West Midlands Police said.
'My love for you is eternal'
Following the verdict, Ibrahim's mother paid tribute to her "beautiful" son.
"My love for you is eternal. I know that you are no longer with me but your precious belongings are so dear to me," she said.
"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."
Mohammed was remanded into a secure mental health facility ahead of sentencing which is due to take place during the week beginning 9 December.
