Woman Admits Killing Autistic Son By Making Him Drink Bleach
I can only say what I have had to say too many times since I started blogging, in similar cases- this person doesn’t deserve to call herself a parent.
A mother has admitted killing her 12-year-old autistic son by making him drink bleach.
Ajit Singh-Mahal was found with fatal injuries at the family home in Barking, east London, in February.
Satpal Kaur-Singh, 44, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility. She had denied the boy’s murder.
The case has been adjourned for psychiatric reports. She is expected to be sentenced on 13 December.
A post-mortem examination gave a preliminary cause of death as ingestion of a “caustic liquid”.
Social worker concerns
Singh, of Lambourne Road, Barking, killed her son Ajit hours after she refused to co-operate with council staff at a meeting over his care, the Old Bailey heard.
But she had appeared “calm” and no-one else who attended had “any concerns about her immediate behaviour”, the court was told.
Hours later she rang police to say: “I’ve just murdered my son and I’ve tried to kill myself.”
Social workers at Barking and Dagenham Council had concerns about Singh in the months before she killed her son, the court heard.
