A WOMAN has admitted killing an 11-year-old girl after using a poisonous substance to get rid of bed bugs in her home.
Fatiha Sabrin suffered a heart attack after Jesmin Akter used aluminium phosphide to get rid of the vermin.

The 33-year-old scattered pellets of the substance, which is a regulated poison, around her flat in Shadwell, East London.
This was then activated by moisture to create the dangerous gas phosphene that travelled to Fatiha’s upstairs flat.
Akter today admitted manslaughter when she appeared at the Old Bailey.
She denied a further charge of importing a regulated substance, namely aluminium phosphide, from Italy without a licence.
Akter, who was aided by a Bengali interpreter, will next appear for a hearing on May 20 to see if prosecutors will proceed on that count.
Judge Alexia Durran said: “Prosecution lawyers will tell your lawyers by Thursday 16 May if there needs to be a trial or not.”
The horror unfolded on November 26, 2021, when Fatiha was rushed to hospital.
Tragically she couldn’t be saved and died on December 11 that year.
Akter had allegedly imported the substance, which is designed for pest control on farmland to protect crops, from Italy without a licence.
It is a regulated substance in the UK but requires a license to possess and use it.
