Overview

• Jurors found Nazli Merthoca guilty of manslaughter and not guilty of murder after more than 15 hours of deliberation.
• She was remanded in custody, with sentencing scheduled for December 15 at the Old Bailey.
• Kaylani, three months old, suffered catastrophic brain injuries as well as rib and leg fractures and died on July 23, 2024.
• A post-mortem concluded death from blunt force trauma, and a forensic pathologist said the injuries could only have resulted from severe shaking.
• Her partner, Herbert Kalanzi, was cleared of all charges, as detectives said Merthoca misled emergency services and digital evidence supported the case presented in court.
