Mother who starved son, three, to death found not guilty due to insanity
Olabisi Abubakar was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and mind was ‘thrown off balance’ during Covid lockdown
A mother who starved her three-year-old son to death by causing him to join her in a religious fast when she was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia has been found not guilty of manslaughter and child cruelty by reason of insanity.
Olabisi Abubakar’s mind was “thrown off balance” by the Covid lockdown and concerns about her immigration status and she began denying herself and her child, Taiwo, food, hoping fasting and prayers would save the world from coronavirus.
