Today, a mother was accused of killing her son who had severe disabilities with a noxious drug.
Pembe Mehmetaliogullari (47), is accused of giving her 10-year old son Mustafa a noxious drug that led to his death 3 years ago. She denies this charge.
Mustafa fell ill and was admitted Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital in Brighton in September 2018 where he was treated by medical staff.

The medics tried to save Mustafa’s life, but he died 3 days later.
A post-mortem examination by police revealed that he died from non-prescribed medications.
Mehmetaliogullari was today in Lewes Crown Court. She was accused of murdering her son and administering a noxious drug to him.
Both charges were dismissed by her wearing a red jacket and black pants.
Prosecutors allege that Mehmetaliogullari gave Mustafa (pictured) a noxious drug.
Three days after being admitted to the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital, Brighton in September 2018, the ten year-old succumbed at Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital.
Following a complicated investigation by East Sussex Safeguarding Investigations Units, the prosecution took place.
The court had earlier heard that Mehmetaliogullari of Hove (East Sussex) had dual citizenship with Turkey, but she had lived most of her adult life in the UK.
She was granted conditional bail and will be tried next May.
