A mother of a two year old girl from Levenshulme who died in February 2024 after suffering a non-accidental brain injury less than three months earlier has been jailed
Omra Wall once admitted into hospital, was found to have several other unexplained injuries including burns and bruising, and a brain scan confirmed that Omra’s head injury was not consistent with the account given to us originally that she had choked on a biscuit accidentally.
Morsal Mohammed Naim, 32, Omra’s mother, was sentenced to nine years in prison for manslaughter and child cruelty, and Firooz Wali Jan, also 32, Omra’s father, was sentenced to six years and nine months in prison for child cruelty. Both pleaded guilty to the offences at an earlier hearing.
Philip Reade, Senior Investigating Officer for this case, said: “Omra was so young, her parents should have been nurturing her, allowing her to grow into the child she would become. Instead, they completely neglected their moral duty to protect her.
“Their behaviour and attempts to mislead our investigation throughout have made this case even more horrifying, so we welcome the custodial sentences handed down today.
“The investigation team never knew Omra, but we have seen countless images of her when being cared for by others which show a happy, smiling, beautiful child and she is in our thoughts today and always.”
