Ruth Auta, a 28-year-old Nigerian nurse based in the United Kingdom, has been sentenced to three years in prison for child negligence, following the tragic death of her 10-week-old son, Joshua Akerele.
Upon returning home, she discovered her baby unresponsive in his cot. Despite emergency services arriving promptly and attempting resuscitation efforts, Joshua was pronounced dead an hour later. Throughout the investigation, inconsistencies in Auta’s story began to emerge. Initially, she claimed that she had picked up her son from a childminder and found him unresponsive after falling asleep together.Footage showed Auta leaving and returning to her accommodation without her child, and messages revealed that she had instructed the childminder to falsely claim she had cared for Joshua that day.
