Baby Ibrahim was found with sustained head injuries at his home in Sparkhill in 2022
A dad has been convicted of killing his three-week-old son in Birmingham.
Kadees Mohammed's baby son, Ibrahim, died after he sustained serious head injuries at their home in Sparkhill.
The baby was found dead on 18 October 2022.
Mohammed, aged 31 of Dovey Road, appeared in Birmingham Crown Court today (Nov 7th).
He denied murder and manslaughter.
Despite his plea, he was convicted of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
The court heard how he had been a caring husband and father.
However, he had started acting out of character and steps to assess his mental health had been started.
He has been remanded in a secure mental health facility ahead of his sentencing on the week commencing 9 December 2024.
A tribute from Ibrahim's mother said: “My beautiful Ibrahim, I am missing you a lot today.
"My love for you is eternal. I know that you are no longer with me but your precious belongings are so dear to me.
"I imagine how life would have been with you by my side. I would have watched you grow, laughed with you and wiped your tears.
"You will remain in my memories for the rest of my life like a beautiful flower. Love from your mum," she said.
