Mother threw baby down rubbish chute

A mother has told a court she “lost control” of her thoughts before throwing her six-day-old baby down a tower-block rubbish chute.

Jaymin Abdulrahman, said to have been suffering from a post-natal psychosis, told jurors she did not plan to cause any harm to the baby before the incident last September.

The Crown alleges the 25-year-old Iraqi national deliberately placed her baby daughter into the chute with the intention of killing her.
