Birmingham man charged with murder of three-week-old baby Mohammed Ibrahim

A Birmingham man appeared at court today charged with the murder of a three-week-old baby on Tuesday.

Kadees Mohammed, 29, from Dovey Road in Sparkhill was charged at Birmingham Magistrates Court with murder, assault and two counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

The innocent baby boy has been named as Mohammed Ibrahim. His distraught family have said: “To our beautiful baby boy, Mohammed Ibrahim. A beautiful flower in our lives. Your family loves you so much.

“We will be together again one day. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.”

They continue to be supported by specialist family liaison officers following the horrific and disturbingly violent attack on the child. Two women were also injured in the incident but have since been treated and discharged from hospital.

A cordon remains at the property on Dovey Road as specialist forensic examinations continue to investigate, while extra officers will continue to patrol the area, according to police.

“Please speak to them if you have any concerns,” West Midlands Police stated. “We would like to thank the local community for their care and assistance in this deeply upsetting investigation.”

Speaking after the incident, West Midlands Ambulance Service said, “We were called at 3.45am to reports of an incident at a private address on Dovey Road in Moseley, Birmingham. Three ambulances, two paramedic officers and a MERIT trauma doctor and critical care paramedic attended the scene.

“Upon arrival crews found two women and a child. The child was in a critical condition. Crews immediately administered advanced life support at the scene and continued to do so en route to hospital.

“Both women had potentially serious injuries. They received treatment from ambulance staff at the scene before being conveyed to hospital for further assessment.”
