Manchester mother who shook two-year-old daughter to death jailed

Parents jailed for nine and nearly seven years after sustained, deliberate abuse caused severe injuries and death of two-year-old Omra Wali Jan, court heard.

  • On February 13, 2026, Manchester Crown Court jailed Morsal Mohammed Naim for nine years and Firooz Wali Jan for six years and nine months after guilty pleas over child cruelty.
  • On November 30, 2023, emergency services were called to a Levenshulme address where Omra was found unconscious, and she died after life support was withdrawn on February 9, 2024.
  • Medical scans showed CT scans and clinical examinations at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital found multifocal subdural haemorrhage, extensive hypoxic brain injury, and multiple retinal haemorrhages, while images from Naim's phone revealed burn injuries, bruising, and deleted calls.
  • The Crown Prosecution Service said Naim shook her daughter and lied about it, calling the killing almost impossible to comprehend in its cruelty, while Philip Reade described the investigation as 'challenging'.
  • Investigators said the probe spanned more than two years and found both parents lied about injuries, protected each other, and that Wali Jan’s 2019 conviction and deafness shaped police work.
