A WOMAN is due to stand trial later this year for allegedly murdering her 14-month-old daughter.
Sadia Ahmed, 26, is accused of killing Inayah Ahmed on April 17, 2016 at the family home in Drumchapel.
She is accused of restricting the toddler’s breathing and murdering her.
Defence counsel Ian Duguid QC entered not guilty pleas on behalf of Ahmed when she appeared for a pre-trial hearing at the High Court in Glasgow on Monday.
A trial was fixed for October.
Ahmed also faces a charge of assaulting Inayah “on various occasions” between February 12, 2015 and April 16, 2016.
Prosecutors allege Ahmed did “seize hold of her tongue and force feed bottles and syringes containing milk into her mouth thereby causing her to swallow milk”.
She is accused of striking her on the head and body, shouting at her and throwing her into a cot.
