North London parents charged with three-month-old son's murder

In the quiet of a North London home, a twelve-week-old boy was found unresponsive, and the weeks that followed traced a path from emergency room to courtroom. His parents, Dounia Chetaouat and Abdelkader Essid, now face murder charges — a legal escalation that reflects not just what investigators found, but the weight society places on the duty of care owed to the most vulnerable. The case, still unfolding, asks the questions that such tragedies always ask: what happened behind closed doors, and who bears responsibility for a life that barely began.
