A woman has denied being involved in the female genital mutilation (FGM) of a four-year-old British girl in Kenya.

Amina Noor, 39, is accused of aiding and abetting a non-UK citizen in an act of genital mutilation between 2006 and 2007.

She appeared at the Old Bailey, where she was released on bail until her trial at the same court in October.

FGM was criminalised in the UK in 2003 and carries a maximum sentence of 14 years imprisonment.
