Mother On Trial For Attempted Murder Of Daughter In Val-DOise

Attempted Murder Trial Opens in Val-d’Oise Over Induced Illness

Aziza M. stands trial before the Val-d’Oise assize court on charges of attempted murder concerning her daughter Maya, who was seven years old at the time of the alleged events. Prosecutors allege the mother invented or induced severe medical symptoms that triggered repeated hospitalizations and complex medical interventions. Alongside the attempted murder charge, she faces accusations of habitual violence directed against four of her other children.

Years of Hospital Investigations at Robert-Debré and Necker

Medical teams across multiple institutions spent years investigating the origins of the recurring health crises affecting Maya. Aziza M. initially had her child hospitalized at Robert-Debré hospital before care transferred to Necker hospital in Paris. Throughout these admissions, clinicians documented persistent acute diarrhea, abdominal pain, recurrent vomiting, headaches, fainting spells, and anemia.

Clinical Review Board Examines Years of Recurring Illness

On January 7, 2021, medical staff caring for Maya at Necker hospital convened a formal meeting to review the comprehensive medical file of the young patient, who had experienced repeated hospital stays nearly since birth. According to the prosecution, the alleged induction of severe vomiting and diarrhea placed the young girl’s life directly in jeopardy before suspicions regarding the mother’s role crystallized into formal criminal charges.

Clinical staff at both Robert-Debré hospital and Necker hospital examined the child’s complex medical history over years of recurring illness. Maya, aged 7 at the time of the 2021 hospital review, endured prolonged hospitalizations for acute gastrointestinal and systemic symptoms. The current legal proceedings in the Val-d’Oise court examine whether the mother intentionally provoked the severe symptoms of illness.
