An eight-year-old boy who fell to his death from a window in Nottingham had severe learning disabilities and a history of escaping from his home, neighbours claimed yesterday.

The schoolboy, named locally as May Hamid Balal, fell around 30ft from a third-floor window in his house on Costock Avenue shortly before 7.15pm on Wednesday.

He was said to be the second youngest of four children and was non-verbal and autistic, requiring him to attend a special school to cater to his needs.

The child’s horrified next-door neighbours were the first to realise what had happened after hearing a loud crack close to their front doors.
