Bartamaha (Nairobi):-This is the first picture of the mother accused of murdering her three year old daughter as she arrived for court this morning.
Iman Omar Yousef appeared before magistrates at Sutton Coldfield Magistrates court charged with murder.
Yousef, who is known locally as Niman Mohamood, is accused of killing her daughter, Alia Ahmed Jama.

The 24-year-old, who could not be seen in the public gallery, only spoke to confirm her name, age and address.
It is feared the girl may have drunk or inhaled acid or had her body burned by a hazardous substance found at the address.
Yousef, of Birmingham, was remanded in custody until her next hearing at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday.
Fresh tributes were placed by a tree today in front of the home of the toddler who was allegedly burnt by acid.
Flowers, teddy bears and cards appeared overnight in a makeshift memorial.
There was an outpouring of emotion after ghastly details of Alia’s tragic death were revealed.
Strangers and neighbours left heartfelt cards to honour the child’s memory.
One tribute read: ‘To a precious little ‘angel’. May your little soul be at peace. Sleep tight xxx’
Most of the cards were left anonymously. Another tribute said: ‘Rest in peace sweet angel. Heaven is a richer place.’
A pink teddy bear placed at the scene by a neighbour included a note that said: ‘To a special little girl who deserved so much more in life. Sweet dreams. God Bless xxx’

More heartfelt good byes to the vivacious little girl were left with bouquets.
One card said: ‘To a beautiful little princess gone too soon. Now you’re in God’s hands. May your beautiful soul be at peace now. You’ll shine bright with the stars. R.I.P. baby girl xxx’
Police were still stationed outside the home while a forensic team continued its investigation inside the residence to verify what substance was used and whether it caused or contributed to Alia’s death.
A spokesman said: ‘Extensive medical and forensic testing is continuing today to ascertain what the ‘substance’ is and whether it caused or contributed to Alia’s death.
‘The investigation continues apace today. Detectives, forensic experts and local officers continue their quest to find out what happened to this little girl.’
Yousef was arrested after the youngster’s body was discovered at about 5.30pm on Saturday.
Forensic officers and specially-trained hazardous chemicals officers took samples of the unidentified substance over the weekend.
Last night neighbours described their horror at the tragedy in the home of what they described as ‘happy, nice and respectable’ young professionals.
Helen Gilfoyle, a 42-year-old teacher who lives a few doors away, said: ‘She was a lovely happy little girl with braids in her hair. Every now and again she would see my cat in the front garden and chase after him, but always in a very playful way.
‘I used to see them going up the road most days and they seemed like a normal mother and daughter.’
Neighbour Sharon McCourt added: ‘It’s so sad what’s happened, that a young life has gone.
‘The couple who lived in the house looked like a respectable, nice couple. They have lived there for six months, but they keep themselves to themselves.’
Local resident Richard Bartlett said: ‘It’s so bizarre. I would see the little girl and her mother walking up the road almost every day as she took her home, presumably from nursery.’
