A seven-year-old boy died from a fatal asthma attack after his mum smoked drugs from his inhaler.
Laura Heath, 39, left her son Hakeem Hussain to die alone in a freezing garden in Birmingham, in November 2017 after he got out of bed to get some fresh air. A court was told he died from acute exacerbation of asthma after being exposed heroin and crack cocaine by his mother.
Jurors were told how she would "source heroin and crack cocaine” as her “first priority in life" ahead of the welfare of her young son. Shocking images released by police showed how Heath had used Hakeem's inhalers to smoke class A drugs from despite his breathing getting worse "day by day."
