Mikaeel Kular’s mum due in court

Mikaeel Kular.

The mother of three-year-old Mikaeel Kular will appear in court next week charged with his murder.

The case against Rosdeep Kular, 33, will call for a preliminary hearing at Edinburgh High Court on Tuesday.

Kular, who will appear under her married name of Adekoya, is also accused of attempting to defeat the ends of justice.

Mikaeel’s body was discovered in Kirkcaldy on January 17, the day after he was reported missing from his home in the north of Edinburgh.

Rosdeep Kular made an initial appearance in private at Edinburgh Sheriff Court the following Monday charged with murder. She made a second appearance on January 27 and was remanded in custody.

After Mikaeel’s disappearance, police issued his picture and appealed to the public for help in finding him. Hundreds of volunteers from the local community joined police and specialist teams as they searched the surrounding area.

In the early hours of January 18, police revealed the body of a young boy had been discovered in Fife and a woman had been detained. Investigations were focused in an area of woodland behind a house in Kirkcaldy.

The boy’s mother was formally arrested and charged in connection with her son’s death later that Saturday. A death certificate later revealed Mikaeel died from peritonitis and an intra-abdominal haemorrhage.
