Mother accused of mudering toddler son is too sick to attend hearing, court hears

A doctor charged with the murder of her three-year-old son in Dublin was too sick to attend a court hearing today, reports Tom Tuite.

GP Maha Al-Adheem, 42, was due to face her second hearing at Dublin District Court having been remanded in custody last week. When the case was called on Thursday, Judge Michael Walsh was told by defence solicitor Richard Young that “she is not going to be produced today”.
