Hid body for over five years
Umaisyah was placed in foster care at three to four months of age before being returned to her parents almost two years later. She was abused by her parents until March 2014, when the mother slapped her cheeks as she had been playing with faeces after soiling her diaper.
Umaisyah's father, who had taken drugs, forcefully slapped her and caused a traumatic brain injury leading to a concussive brain seizure. He tried to resuscitate her but she could not be saved.
The parents, worried about being arrested, decided to burn Umaisyah's body in a metal pot, placed the pot in a cardboard box and covered it in cling wrap before stashing it under the kitchen stove in their flat. The pot stayed there for more than five years while the couple lied to government officials to prevent detection of Umaisyah's death.
Umaisyah's remains were discovered when her uncle opened the pot when Umaisyah's mother was in jail. He showed the contents of the pot to his sister's friends and they reported it to the police. The child's body was burnt beyond recognition and reduced to charred remains, small bones and a loose tooth.
