Toddler Died Two Years Ago<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Detectives investigating the death of a Coventry toddler two years ago are still appealing for information from the community that could prove crucial to the case.<\/p>\n


\nMariam Alam died in hospital from head injuries on 30 November 2011 after paramedics were called to a house in Foleshill\u2019s Fisher Road.<\/p>\n


\nMystery initially surrounded the tragic toddler\u2019s death but in July this year a family friend and neighbour was charged with her murder.<\/p>\n


\nHe remains in prison ahead of a scheduled court trial in February next year, whilst two other people from Fisher Road \u2013 women aged 33 and 26 \u2013 have also been charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice.<\/p>\n


\nLead investigator, Detective Inspector Chris Hanson, said he\u2019s determined to find out what happened to Mariam and is urging anyone with information about the toddler\u2019s death to contact him.<\/p>\n


\nHe said: \u201cThis is such a sad case; Mariam was shown on CCTV with her mum in the local Lidl supermarket at 1pm on the afternoon of 30 November 2011 but 20 minutes later she\u2019d suffered fatal head injuries.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cAlthough three people have been charged in connection with her death we are still actively investigating and desperately want to hear from anyone who could help.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cAny information about Mariam and what happened on the day she died \u2013 no matter how trivial it may seem \u2013 could be crucial. I\u2019m determined Mariam will not be forgotten.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nThe supermarket camera footage \u2013 which is available on the force\u2019s YouTube channel \u2013 shows Mariam wearing a red flowery dress, white tights and a pink coat walking in front of her mother as they enter Lidl in John Wigley Way at 1pm.<\/p>\n


\nThey can be seen leaving five minutes later \u2013 but at around 1.20pm paramedics were called to the address in Fisher Road after the child collapsed. Despite the best efforts of medics, the toddler couldn\u2019t be saved.<\/p>\n


\nDet Insp Hanson, added: \u201cI\u2019m keen to understand where Miriam was, what she was doing and who she was with, in the minutes between leaving Lidl and becoming critically ill. I\u2019m sure there is information about this case still out in the community \u2013 people can speak to the police in confidence so please make that call.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nAnyone with information should call Det Insp Hanson on 101. Alternatively, people who do not want to speak with police officers directly can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.<\/p><\/div>\n
