London woman admits killing disabled son after breakdown
A woman has admitted killing her disabled 10-year-old son after undergoing a mental breakdown while struggling to care for him during the lockdown.
Olga Freeman, 40, was charged with the murder of Dylan Freeman, who was found dead at their home in Acton, west London, on 15 August last year.
The boy was found in the master bedroom of the house lying on his back covered by a duvet with parts of a sponge in his throat. Toys had been placed beside him.
A postmortem examination gave the cause of Dylan's death as restriction of the airways.
