Mother accused of son’s murder unable to attend court
Since being held in prison on remand last Saturday, Hazel Waters, aged 46, of Ridge Hall, Ballybrack, has been transferred to the Central Mental Hospital. The case has been adjourned until November 5. She was charged at the weekend after the toddler was found dead with stab wounds in the bedroom at their Dublin apartment at about 2pm last Thursday.
Hassan’s acupuncturist father, Mohammed Saleem Khan, 61, laid his son to rest following a burial ceremony on Monday. During a short hearing on Saturday, Det Sgt Joe O’Hara had told Dublin district court Ms Waters made no reply when she was charged with murdering her son between October 15 and 16.
