THE aunt of a tragic toddler has told a murder jury: “Inaya did not choke on bread. She was killed and Sadia killed her.”
Shagufta Yasmin, 45, was giving evidence for a second day at the trial of her sister-in-law Sadia Ahmed who denies murdering her 14-month-old daughter Inaya on April 17, 2016, at 47 Bernisdale Drive, Glasgow.

Ahmed is also accused of assaulting Inaya on various occasions between February 12, 2015, and April 16, last year, by force-feeding her bottles and syringes containing milk.
Earlier, the jury was shown a video of toddler Inaya being fed with a syringe by Mrs Yasmin surrounded by members of her family.

As the footage was screened Mrs Yasmin broke down in tears and so did the accused Ahmed.
Mrs Yasmin claimed that Ahmed was unhappy when an ultrasound scan revealed the child she was carrying was a girl and added: “Sadia said she wanted an abortion.”
The trial before judge Lord Matthews continues.
