Bint Hamad was convicted of strangling her daughter while she slept in May 2023. The earlier ruling was based on physical evidence, witness testimony and forensic reports, according to local media.
A lower court had sentenced her to 15 years in prison after convicting her of premeditated murder, a sentence that was subsequently upheld on appeal.
Her lawyer argued before the Court of Cassation that she had suffered an acute psychological disturbance at the time of the killing and challenged aspects of the initial medical assessments.
