'Mummified' boy disappeared from UK records before death
Social workers and medics knew nothing of the plight of a boy found starved and mummified in his cot because his mother failed to co-operate with services, a UK court heard today.
Hamzah Khan, whose severely malnourished and skeletal remains were only discovered almost two years after he died in squalor at his mother’s filthy, rubbish-filled home, had never been seen by a GP after his birth.
