The body of tragic asylum seeker Mercy Baguma who was found dead with her starving baby crying in a cot will be flown back to Uganda tomorrow.
Mercy, 34, was found dead in her flat in Govan, Glasgow, on August 22 with her 16-month-old son Adriel crying in his cot in a blood-soaked babygrow.
She had been forced to stop working by Home Office legislation and was relying on friends and charities for help.
The baby was so thin his spine could be felt when dad Eric Nnanna, 30, was able to hold him.
Eric, also an asylum seeker, had been with Mercy for three years and alerted police when he was unable to get hold of her after several attempts.
He believes she died four days before her body was found, and said it was a 'miracle' his son survived.
Tomorrow Mercy's body will be flown from Edinburgh to Entebbe, in Uganda.
The young mum will be laid to rest on Saturday evening.
Eric and Adriel will hold a candlelit vigil in a place which was special to them, Elder Park Boating Pond in Govan, at 3pm on Saturday.
A spokesman for Positive Action in Housing said: "Elder Park is a place that Mercy loved.
"She and Eric spent some happy days there with baby Adriel."
The charity is trying to raise £25,000 to help Adriel, and has nearly reached that goal.
