The aunt of toddler Inaya Ahmed told a murder trial the child's lips had turned blue as her uncle performed CPR.

Kiran Sultan, 36, was giving evidence at the trial of Sadia Ahmed, 28, who denies murdering her 14-month-old daughter in the family home in Drumchapel, Glasgow, on April 17 last year.

Inaya was on a life support machine for three days at the Royal Hospital for Children in the city and died three days later.

Mrs Sultan told the jury at the High Court in Glasgow that Ahmed and Inaya were among the guests at a dinner party she held on April 16 last year, the night before the toddler's death.

She recalled: "Inaya was playing with my kids..." and then broke down sobbing.

Later in evidence, the mother-of-three added: "Inaya was in my house the night before and was fine and Sadia was fine.

"They left about 10pm. The next morning... how could somebody just kill somebody?

"How could somebody just do that out of the blue? I just didn't believe it."

Mrs Sultan said she was phoned on the morning on April 17, realised something was wrong and drove round to the family's home on Bernisdale Drive.

Prosecutor Paul Kearney asked what she saw.

She replied: "My mum Noor was crying and my brother Wacus was giving CPR to Inaya.

"Inaya's lips were blue. When I saw her the previous night she was fine."

The court was told after Inaya was taken to hospital in an ambulance Mrs Sultan saw Ahmed in the kitchen.

She was asked how Ahmed appeared and she replied: "Blank."

Jurors were told that in two police statements given on April 17 and May 4, 2016, Mrs Sultan said she was told by her mother that Inaya was not breathing and had choked on bread.

In court, she claimed her mother told her: "Sadia has killed Inaya."

Ian Duguid QC, for Ahmed, said: "Is it not the case that you are lying in court today?"

The witness replied: "Why would I lie?"

She then said her brother Suleman Ahmed - Inaya's father - had given her information about the post-mortem examination carried out on the little girl.

Mrs Sultan said: "He told me she was shaken, struck on the head and her breathing was restricted."

Mr Duguid said: "She wasn't shaken and she wasn't struck on the head.

"It seems your family changed your story when you heard about the post mortem."

Mrs Sultan said: "A post-mortem can't lie."

Mr Duguid then said: "The accuracy of your information might be disputed."

He then asked Mrs Sultan why, if she thought Ahmed was a killer, did she, her husband and children visit her in London?

She responded: "I made a mistake, a grave mistake."

The trial before judge Lord Matthews continues.
