Two parents have been charged with the murder of their three-month-old baby. Dounia Chetaouat, 32 and Abdelkader Essid, 44, have been accused of killing their young son at a home in North Finchley, north London.

The Metropolitan Police said officers were called to a report of an unresponsive baby boy at a property in Kingsway on 30 January.

When paramedics arrived, they found the youngster had suffered serious injuries and performed emergency first aid before he was rushed to hospital.

Chetaouat, of North Finchley, and Essid, of Finchley, were both arrested later that day on suspicion of assault causing grievous bodily harm.

They were then charged with causing or allowing serious physical harm to a child on 2 February, and both were remanded in custody.

The baby died in hospital over two weeks later on 17 February. Both parents were charged with murder and causing or allowing the death of a child the next day.

A post-mortem examination of the body is due to take place, Scotland Yard added. Both suspects are expected to appear at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

Siblings death mystery

Tributes have been paid to two young hikers found dead in the Eryri mountain range (Snowdonia).

Jayden Long, 19, and Eddie Hill, 20, from Norfolk, were found dead on Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) on Thursday after concerns over their welfare were raised with the police on Wednesday, prompting an extensive search in winter conditions.

Their families and friends paid tribute to the pair on social media, describing them as “best friends” who died “doing something [they] loved”.

“I cannot put into words how hard this is for me and everyone who knew Jayden,” his younger sister, Jodie Long, wrote in a social media post about her “amazing, kind and caring big brother”.

“He was doing something he loved and was taken from us too soon and he will be forever missed. Words cannot describe how loved he was by everyone and how much he loved us all too.”

Jayden’s aunt, Stephanie Jolly, shared several pictures with her nephew and said, addressing him: “You were just figuring out life, following your dreams and doing something you loved with someone you loved. It isn’t fair. Jayden you were a wonderful and caring big brother, son, cousin, nephew and grandson.”

She added: “I feel so lucky to have had lots of wonderful memories with you. You stood by me on my wedding day and I’m heartbroken that we won’t ever get to stand by you when it was your turn.”

Harry Hill shared a tribute about his sibling Eddie, writing how his “big beautiful” and beloved older brother passed away on Wednesday.

“Words can not describe the pain that [I], my family and friends are going through at the moment. This is a lot to take in,” Harry said.

“He was [taken] from us far too soon and he had such big plans for his future. He is the most beautiful boy inside and out and he will be missed dearly.”
