Lewes Crown Court

A woman living in Hove has been charged with the murder of her 10-year-old son, following his death from non-prescribed medication.

Pembe Mehmetaliogullari, 47, unemployed, formerly of Eastview Terrace, Sedlescombe, now of Hove, has been charged with the murder of her son, Mustafa.

She appeared in custody at Brighton Magistrates Court on Saturday 25 September and will be seen at Lewes Crown Court today (Tuesday 28 September).

Mustafa, who lived with severe physical and mental disabilities, died at the Royal Alexandra Childrens' Hospital in Brighton on 30 September 2018, having been admitted for treatment three days earlier.

A postmortem and toxicology examination of the boy found that his death was due to administration of non-prescribed medication.

The prosecution, authorised by the CPS, follows a complex investigation by the East Sussex Safeguarding Investigations Unit.
