Court hears mother was called to school over concerns she was harming her child
A court has heard that a mother accused of beating her son to death was called to see the head teacher at his school over concerns she was harming him at home.
Sara Ege, 32, is accused of beating son Yaseen because he failed to learn sections of the Koran by heart.
The jury heard from a teaching assistant who knew Yaseen at the school he attended in 2007. She described overseeing a morning writing lesson with a group of four children, including Yaseen, some time during the year.
Ms Walker claimed she examined his arm and hand but was unable to see any injury.
