According to reports, Auta initially claimed that she had collected Joshua from a childminder and found him unresponsive when she woke up.

However, CCTV footage and incriminating texts revealed that she had left the baby alone, leading to her arrest and subsequent guilty plea.

The court heard that Joshua may have “overheated” due to being wrapped in multiple layers of clothing and bedding. Auta was charged with cruelty to a child and sentenced to three years in prison at Bolton Crown Court on September 10.
