Mikaeel Kular's mum pleads guilty

Rosdeep Adekoya has pleaded guilty to Culpable Homicide of her son Mikaeel in January of this year.

I do not think she should be given access to the other children myself now or in the future

and tbh when they grow up they likely wouldn't want to know her anyway, I don't think I would

They might want to out of curiosity.

Absolutely no sympathy here either. I hope she rots too. Beating a child numerous times when he needed her the most. That poor poor baby. In some ways I'm glad he's at peace now and not having to endure years of abuse. Plenty of women have PND and other mental health issues and don't beat a child to death. She deserves everything she gets.

Not going to read the details, but that poor baby.

"When she gets out"... She should never get out!

I don't want to read the articles.

Can anyone tell me what the sentence is likely to be?

Is Scottish sentencing much different to English?

I don't know Arsenic. A mum I worked with got 3 years in the Royal Edinburgh Hospital after culpable homicide of her 1 year old due to PND.

Because it's manslaughter it won't be life, but there are people saying 6 years and out in 4 if good behaviour.

Just terrible.

She changed her mind about having Mikaeel and his twin sister adopted.

She was working full time, had five children and had completed a college course.

She is a very attractive young woman and should not have had so many children or any if she craved the single life so much.

I feel sorry for her own mother who had called social services.

It's so horrible how Mikaeel died and now his siblings have had their lives changed forever.

I don't believe she was evil. She committed an evil act brought about by not being able to cope with the lifestyle she had chosen to have.

I get the impression she had Mikaeel and his sister in an attempt to keep hold of their dad, who subsequently left. She must have had feelings of resentment and no doubt the boy reminds her of her ex.

Incredibly sad that his life was brutally taken from in under the most vile circumstances, his siblings lives forever changed, her family forever tarnished by her actions and of course her own life ruined.

6 years and out in 4 if good behaviour.

Gosh. Presumably Mikaeel's killer won't be dealt with by a secure hospital commital though?

I can't imagine why any child want to go within five hundred miles of a 'mother' who bet her three year old to death over several days (said as the offspring of a mother was neglectful but not wilfully cruel)

And yet they do.

And it is not up to strangers who don't know the children to decide what should happen. Its up to the children and their carers to work out what form of contact is best.

Like I said. The children shouldn't be punished because the mother is.

I have a 3 yr old boy. I think of how much he needs me and how he runs to me when he is sad or hurt. My heart aches for this poor boy, desperate for his mothers love.

Vile woman.

mumof3 they are a long way from being grown up aren't they?

So what happens in the meantime? Everyone just pretends she has just gone. Doesn't care about them, doesn't love them?

On top of losing their mother and their brother what do you think that would do to them?

She isn't going to get her kids back. Its not about that. Its about working out what is best for those children.

Thanks for the reports: we've added a warning to the OP now.

shia you say it was brought about as she couldn't cope with the lifestyle change?? why do you say that,her internet searches show she couldn't love him,not much to do with lifestyle

Apparently Fife Council are to hold a review into his case now criminal proceedings will have finished. They've done the first part and hope to have it concluded by December.

Arsenic, it's been said she was found to have a mild to moderate despressive disorder at the time of his death but fit to stand trial. Who knows what will happen.

As i said serious case review is the norm,were there is fatality
Will be available to public on internet on completion.

I mean that for a single woman with five young children , working full time, completing a college course and wanting to go out and have fun as a single woman is nigh on impossible to combine all those without something giving.

Sadly, it was her frustrations and temper that she succumbed to and she took it out on Mikaeel, the child out of all of them that she felt unable to love.

I can tell you now that no way could I have coped with five young children on my own, let alone working and studying. I don't like to think I would have murdered anyone but I know that I would have struggled immensely.

That is not excusing her by any means. She should have had the twins adopted or better still she should have exercised better birth control.

It is not unusual for one child to be singled out as a scapegoat for whatever problems or frustrations exist though Turbo

The two youngest were twins, they had a different father to the older DC, who apparently was disinterested in a relationship. Going from 3 to 5 DC on a low income, in a small flat, with no input from the dad could have caused resentment. The first multiple birth was also the first time she was truly solo parent, if her antipathy attached itself to the male child, it's not hard to come up with an armchair theory about why.

But what a tragedy that she didn't seek professional help instead of just googling.

That poor poor boy.

Beaten for being sick?! :( and then to make up such a lie.

There's no words.

I don't blame her for not coping. I blame her for not seeking help.

Yes it as a long time until they are adults but I don't think she should be in their lives. She is a vile creature.
The older children also may have even witness the awful treatment of their young brother.
As others have said if she was a man ......

What a horrific last few days that poor boy had.

As I look at my own relatively tiny boy I just feel sick to imagine anyone hurting him, let alone the horror of a parent doing it.

Poor little thing.

She has admitted an awful lot. It's very disturbing that Mikaeel was attacked repeatedly over what seems each day over four days.

The initial attack could be said to be heat of the moment but knowing he was covered in bruises to go on and attack him again every day after is beyond comprehension.

It also saddens me that her other children either witnessed her attacks and/or heard the boy screaming in pain.

No way will she only get 6 years, it will be closer to 12-15 years.

I was wondering if his siblings had witnessed everything and told the police what they saw. That would have been extremely traumatic for them.

Also. Thinking of the siblings. As there were 5 of them there is I think a good chance he shared a room with one of them
