Both defendants, Kemarni's mother Alicia Watson and her former boyfriend Nathaniel Pope, are charged with murder and child cruelty.

The trial started in November and was supposed to finish by mid-January but a series of delays have extended the case.

The jury began deliberations at the end of last month but no verdicts have been reached.

Watson, 30, of Radnor Road, Handsworth, and Pope, 31, of Evans Street, Wolverhampton, deny murder and multiple child cruelty charges.

Kemarni died from massive internal injuries on June 5, 2018.

The jury will return to Birmingham Crown Court on April 12 at 10am.
