Nicola Sturgeon said she is “consumed with sadness” and anger after Mercy Baguma was found dead next to her malnourished baby in a Glasgow flat. The Scottish First Minister has now called for a complete reform of the UK’s “deeply inhumane” asylum system. Refugee charity Positive Action in Housing said Ms Baguma had claimed asylum and lived in “extreme poverty”, having lost her job after her right to work in the UK had expired.
