A dad from Wakefield, who’s charged with murdering his son, has been remanded into custody.

34 year old Pazeer Ahmed, is accused of murdering Haroon Ahmed Bhatti, who died in hospital after paramedics fought to save his life earlier this week.

Ahmed appeared before Wakefield Magistrates' Court on Thursday for a brief hearing.

He was arrested at his home on Monday following the death of the boy.

A woman who has lived in the area for 36 years described the street as “quiet” and “residential”.

Ahmed was remanded in custody and told he will appear again at Leeds Crown Court on Monday.
