A 31-year-old woman has been found guilty of murdering her two-month-old baby daughter in a shocking case that has rocked West Bromwich.
Harleen’s Fatal Injuries Don’t Add Up
Zara Arsalan, who pleaded not guilty, was convicted today at Coventry Crown Court of killing baby Harleen in 2020. On 23 July that year, emergency services were called after Harleen was found unresponsive, reportedly after falling from her mother’s lap.
Paramedics arrived to find the infant with unstable breathing and a serious head injury. Harleen was rushed to the hospital but tragically died the next day.
“I want to thank all of the officers involved as I know they were deeply affected by this investigation. They have worked incredibly hard to get justice for Harleen and her family.”
Zara Arsalan will be sentenced on 12 March.
