In a tragic case that has shocked the nation, a mother from Cardiff has been detained under the Mental Health Act, having been found not guilty of her three-year-old son’s manslaughter and neglect by reason of insanity.
Olabisi Abubakar, 42, was detained indefinitely on Tuesday after she was deemed a risk to the public. Cardiff Crown Court heard that Abubakar fasted her son Taiwo to death during the COVID-19 lockdown, believing it would save the nation from the virus.
