Child killer Rosdeep Adekoya released from jail just six years into 11-year sentence for killing son

Child killer Rosdeep Adekoya has been released from prison less than seven years into an 11-year sentence for killing her son Mikaeel.

The 41-year-old was caged after she beat her three-year-old son Mikaeel Kularl to death in January 2014 after he was sick following a family meal at Nando’s.

The Daily Record has learned she was freed from Cornton Vale prison in Stirling today.

Adekoya, from Edinburgh, brutally attacked her son for four days leaving him with 40 injuries on his body.

The mother, who has four other children, then stashed his body in a suitcase before dumping it behind her sister’s house in Kirkcaldy.

She told police he had vanished from the family home in the capital and tricked thousands of local people into searching for him.

Two days later his body was found in Adekoya's sister's garden in Kirkcaldy.

Her lies began to unravel when she broke down to detectives who were interviewing her for a third time.

She told officers: It was an accident and I panicked.

"I am going to go to jail?”

Adekoya was initially charged with murder but convicted of the lesser crime of culpable homicide in August 2014 after telling the High Court in Edinburgh she didn’t mean to kill her son.

We previously reported how one year into her sentence she was moved to a “cushy” unit after she complained that threatening letters calling her a beast and a child-beater had been left outside her cell.

She was then released from prison just four years into her sentence as part of a scheme to prepare her for freedom.

It is believed she had been working in a shop in Stirling.

Locals had seen the 41-year-old out and about in the local area before returning to prison.
