A mother drowned her baby daughter in a bucket while her boyfriend watched live over the internet.

Norwegian Yasmin Chaudhry killed the one-year-old by plunging her into a bucket of water during a 3am Skype video call with her British partner.

Chaudhry, 26, said she had just wanted to discipline her baby for waking up and ‘disobeying her’.

She called an ambulance and initially told
paramedics that the baby had fallen into the bucket by accident.

The girl was unconscious when the paramedics arrived and was pronounced dead the next
day, in October 2010.

Chaudhry was initially arrested on suspicion of negligence because of inconsistencies in the stories she gave to police and the paramedics, but is now facing a preliminary charge of murder.

‘This has been a long investigation and she eventually admitted it to us in October 2011,’ Norwegian police prosecutor Kristin Rusdal told MailOnline.

‘She said it was done to discipline the child. She had been holding her under water.

‘She had discussed the discipline with this friend, with whom she had a relationship. They met online and had met in person only once.

Chaudhry claimed that her boyfriend –
who is not the child’s father – told her to do it.

Both she and the Briton deny wanting to kill the baby.

The British man has not yet been named because his name does not appear in any of the court documents published in Norway.

Ms Rusdal confirmed a preliminary murder
charge had been filed against the British man and said police were
discussing extradition.

Officers from Oslo flew to Britain just before Christmas to question the boyfriend with the help of Scotland Yard.

‘We could issue a formal request to the British authorities to see if they wan to investigate the case, but because it is so closely tied to our investigation we would like to see them together,’ said Ms Rusdal.

Chaudhry’s five-year-old son was taken into care following the horrific episode in October 2010.

Yesterday she was remanded until February 4.

The baby’s father now lives in Pakistan after splitting with the mother.

His lawyer said: ‘He is, of course, very shocked.’

Serious comment: why IS just anyone allowed to have a child biologically? You have to jump through God knows how many hoops to adopt one, so obviously Social Services believe parenthood is something that shouldn’t be taken on lightly.

The more I read these horrendous reports the more I’m convinced that evil is walking this earth just as it was predicted, helpless children and animals are always the first to suffer.

Dear Parents, this is great advice. When your 1 yr old wakes up in the middle of the night (which will happen quite often) get off skype and take her back to bed. Problem solved.

My God what is wrong with the human race? Just when you don’t think you can take on board any more horror, more pops up. I am ASHAMED of my race, deeply so. Sleep tight precious baby, nobody can ever hurt you again xxx

How evil. That poor baby died in such pain. I hope the sad excuse of a mother suffers for the rest of her life. You wicked, evil, monster!…I nearly drowned as a child in a swimming pool, i will never forget the pain even over 30 years on! RIP baby Angel xx

Words fail me, that poor little baby. 🙁

What has humanity come too? I wish she had done this in Texas, in Norway she’ll probably get a couple of years. Horrible, poor child

This literally made me feel sick so I stopped reading.

What has the planet come to.

Vile and evil woman.
