A Birmingham man is due to appear at court today (Thursday, October 20) charged with the murder of a three-week-old baby on Tuesday.

Kadees Mohammed, aged 29 from Dovey Road, Sparkhill, is charged with murder, assault and two counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. He will appear at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court.

The baby boy has been named as Mohammed Ibrahim. His distraught family have said: “To our beautiful baby boy, Mohammed Ibrahim. A beautiful flower in our lives. Your family loves you so much. We will be together again one day. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.”

West Midlands Police specialist family liaison officers are continuing to support them. Two women injured in the incident were treated and discharged from hospital.

A spokesperson for West Midlands Police said: “A cordon remains at the property on Dovey Road as specialist forensic examinations continue. “Extra officers will continue to patrol the area so please speak to them if you have any concerns. We would like to thank the local community for their care and assistance in this deeply upsetting investigation.”
