A court hears that 32-year-old Dounia Chetaouat and 44-year-old Abdelkader Essid are accused of killing their three-month-old son, Adam, in North Finchley, London. Reporting says prosecutors allege the baby died as a result of assault. One account presented in court includes a statement Chetaouat allegedly made to a relative, describing the infant as causing distress and saying words reported as “if he only would die.” The same reporting identifies Essid as a co-accused parent in the case.
At this stage of proceedings, both defendants are accused and the details of what happened before the child’s death are matters for the court to determine. Further evidence, including witness testimony and medical or forensic findings, is presented as part of the legal process. The case is ongoing and no verdict has been reported in the provided summaries.
