A Pakistani living in Britain is facing extradition to Norway after he told his former mistress to dunk her baby into water while he watched over the Internet

Ammaz Qureshi instructed Yasmin Chaudhry to put her child in the bucket as a punishment after the one-year-old interrupted their conversation on Skype by crying. When Chaudhry, in Norway, realized the child, called Hunaina, wasn't breathing she called for help - telling doctors that she fell into the water by accident. The girl was unconscious when Norweigan 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. Chaudhry was arrested a few days later and Norwegian police flew to Britain to question Qureshi after he was blamed for the death. He has now been arrested on charges of unlawful killing and is understood to have admitted watching the killing but denies giving any instructions. Qureshi, 33, managed to keep the killing from his wife until police began to question him. Scotland Yard arrested Qureshi, an accountant, on orders from Norway who want to put on him trial. He is currently in custody in London pending an hearing about his extradition. Qureshi, from Pinner, North London, is not the father of Hunaina. The baby's father now lives in Pakistan after splitting with the mother, and was said to have been very shocked by what had happened.
