A mother accused of killing her three-month-old daughter called Great Ormond Street ‘a hospital of white supremacy’ and threatened to live stream police on TikTok when they tried to arrest her, a court heard.
Kaylani Kalanzi died from being violently shaken when she was caught in the middle of her parents' mutually abusive relationship’, the Old Bailey has heard.
Her parents called 999 and she was taken to hospital on July 8 last year. She was transferred to Great Ormond Street where she died on July 23, 2024.
Her father, Ugandan national Herbert Kalanzi, 35, and her mother, Nazil Merthoca, 24, are accused of murdering their daughter.
The abusive relationship was ‘out of control’ and Merthoca was using drugs leading to Kaylani being put on a child protection plan before her death, the Old Bailey heard.
