Woman accused over death of boy aged four

Amanda Hutton, 42, appeared at Bradford Magistrates’ Court with her 24-year-old son, Tariq Khan, who is also accused of preventing the burial of a body.

The pair were arrested in connection with the discovery of the decomposed body of four-and-half-year-old Hamza Khan at a house in Bradford more than a year ago.

Officers from West Yorkshire Police were called to the house in the Heaton area of the city in September 2011.

Hutton is also facing a number of other charges.

Hutton, of Farcliffe Road, Bradford, and Khan, of Bradford Road, Bradford, were both given conditional bail.

They are due to appear at Bradford Crown Court on Tuesday next week.
