Not sure what this means- has it been postponed until the 25 July? How can it continue without her entering a plea?
Will be interesting to find out what these "complexities" are which people keep referring to
The mother of toddler Mikaeel Kular- who was accused battering her son to death and hiding his body in woodlands - has pleaded guilty to her son's culpable homicide. Rosdeep Adekoya, 34, entered the plea at the High Court in Edinburgh this morning...
Adekoya, a prisoner at Cornton Vale jail near Stirling, admitted assaulting and killing Mikaeel at the family's flat in Ferry Gait Crescent and hiding his body in woodland in Fife.
She also pleaded guilty to attempting to defeat the ends of justice by pretending to police he had gone missing, sparking the search by the emergency services and members of the public.
Advocate depute Alex Prentice told the court: “The basis for the plea tendered being accepted is that the Crown accepts that the accused had no intention to kill Mikaeel and that the assault perpetrated upon him, although severe, fell short if the wicked recklessness required for murder”...
Adekoya was originally accused of murdering the youngster at the family home in Ferry Gait Crerscent, in Edinburgh.
But after the Crown amended the charge to the lesser offence of culpable homicide she pled guilty to killing him at the High Court in Edinburgh.
