A teenage mother in the UK let her baby die while partying for a week across the country, according to reports.
Verphy Kudi’s daughter, Asiah, was only 20 months old. According to a report, the autopsy showed he died of starvation, dehydration and flu.
Kudi, of Brighton, had traveled up to 150 miles away to celebrate her 18th birthday when she left the child, who died alone in December 2019.
Kudi admitted he was murdered this week in a British court.
The tragedy has sparked “a serious review of the case” by local and national officials, according to media reports.
Kudi once tweeted about her desire to be a model for Pretty Little Things. The day he returned home with his daughter, he had posted on Twitter trying to sell three tickets for a Lil Durk concert that day.
Kudi’s sister, in an October YouTube video posted months before the young mother’s plea of guilt, denied any knowledge of the fact that the baby had been left alone.
“No one in my family knew this headline,” the sister said, referring to local reports. “I pray that my niece gets the justice she deserves.”
“My heart is very broken,” Kudi journalist Muba Kudi told reporters after the hearing. “My daughter was missing. He disappeared from the age of 14 ”.
