Mother 'poisoned son to avoid trip to Syria with jihadi husband'

Woman, 27, jailed for four years and six months for administering anti-psychotic drug and unknown noxious substance

A mother repeatedly gave her son anti-psychotic drugs and poison in a desperate attempt to avoid being forced to travel to Syria by her jihadi husband, a court has heard.

The 27-year-old woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, deliberately gave the medication to the boy to make him unwell over a period of six weeks between August and October 2015.
