Social workers knew nothing of Bradford boy who ‘starved to death’
SOCIAL workers and medics knew nothing of the plight of a boy found starved and mummified in his cot in Bradford because his mother failed to co-operate with services, a court has heard.
Hamzah Khan, whose severely malnourished and skeletal remains were only discovered almost two years after he died in squalor at his mother’s filthy, rubbish-filled home, had never been seen by a GP after his birth.
And there were no medical records on him from the age of two weeks old until he died aged four and a half, Bradford Crown Court heard.
