A woman charged with the murder of her four-year-old son in east London has appeared in court.
Police were called to an address in Montague Road, Hackney, on Wednesday night following concerns about the welfare of a child.
Inside, officers found Kobi Dooley-Macharia, who had suffered knife injuries, and arrested his 41-year-old mother, Keziah Macharia.
The child was taken to hospital but despite the efforts of the emergency services, later died from his injuries.
Macharia appeared in custody at Thames Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
She is scheduled to appear at London’s Old Bailey on December 28th.
