A London mother was jailed for nine years for shaking her premature infant to death despite a prior child protection plan.
A 24-year-old London mother, Nazli Merthoca, was sentenced to nine years and six months in prison for the manslaughter of her three-month-old daughter, Kaylani Kalanzi, who died after suffering severe injuries from being violently shaken.
The infant, born prematurely and already under a child protection plan, died 15 days after being hospitalized on July 8, 2024, with brain trauma, a broken leg, and fractured ribs.
Merthoca was acquitted of murder but found guilty of manslaughter, with the court citing a loss of temper amid significant stress and a history of personal trauma.
Her partner, Herbert Kalanzi, was cleared of all charges.
Social services had previously approved the couple’s custody despite known risks.
The judge emphasized the irreversible loss of Kaylani’s life and the lasting impact on her family.
