These are the squalid scenes inside the home of a mother jailed for causing the death of her 11-month baby.
Eleven-month-old Nafahat Diini died of a chest infection after weeks of neglect at the hands of 25-year-old Fartun Jamal at her flat in Kingfisher Way, Brent Park, Neasden, north west London.
Shocked police who were called to the scene on March 13, 2019, found little food in the flat and noticed the stench of urine as soon as they passed through the door.
Inside Nafahat’s bedroom, there was human excrement on the walls and window and her cot – which was too small for her – was soaked in urine.
Rotting takeaway food was found throughout the property, though officers did not find a single toy or a photograph of the little girl.
On the day she died, local social services were due to make an unannounced visit to the flat after concerns were raised about the young girl’s welfare.
Police also noted, Jamal only had to cross the car park outside her flat to reach the local GP surgery.
Fartun Jamal was found guilty of causing the death of her daughter Nafahat. Her 11-month-old child was forced to sleep in a urine-soaked travel cot which was too small for her
Police discovered this urine-soaked travel cot inside the flat in Brent Park, Neasden, north west London where Nafahat slept
Human excrement was found on the walls and windows of Nafahat’s room
A congealed container of cooked pasta was being used as an ashtray
Harrow Crown Court heard Jamal made a series of web searches including ‘I can’t cope with my child anymore’ and ‘I want to give up my child’, while living with the baby in early 2019, jurors were told during a trial at Harrow Crown Court.
She knew Nafahat was unwell with a ‘very high temperature’ and poor appetite but failed to take her to a doctor, the court heard.
Visitors in the weeks leading up to the baby’s death recalled her cot was broken and the flat was overrun with takeaway boxes, dirty plates and nappies.
On February 22, social services attended the property after concerns were raised by a babysitter.
However, they warned Jamal ahead of their visit and, when they arrived, they found the flat was clean and the situation had improved.
A second social services visit, without warning, was planned for March 13 – the day Nafahat died.
