Two individuals, Tanisha Henry (28) and Mikael Williams (30), have been charged with murder in connection with the death of a three-year-old boy named Isiayah Henry in Woolwich, southeast London. The police were alerted on January 3 after concerns regarding the child’s severe injuries surfaced, leading to his admission to the hospital. Despite the best medical efforts, Isiayah tragically passed away on January 19.

The investigation, which initially started as a concern for welfare, transitioned into a criminal inquiry following the boy's death. The police have stated that the charge against the two suspects also includes causing or allowing the death of a child, reflecting the serious nature of the allegations. The community has been deeply affected by this event, raising concerns regarding child safety and welfare in the area.

Tanisha Henry and Mikael Williams are scheduled to appear at Woolwich Crown Court in April for their charges. The tragic circumstances surrounding Isiayah's death have highlighted the ongoing issues regarding child protection and the responsibilities of caregivers, prompting calls for reforms to better safeguard vulnerable children in similar situations. With the case still in the early stages, more details are expected to emerge as the investigation continues and the courtroom proceedings unfold.
