Olga Freeman, 40, is accused of killing her son Dylan at her home in Acton, west London, in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The Old Bailey learned how Freeman drowned his son before covering him with a duvet and folding his structure next to his toys in the master bedroom of the 544,000 euro apartment.
She had “struggled” to care for Dylan, who had a variety of medical conditions, adding autism, within six months of his death, he said.
Joel Smith, accuser, said: “The cause of death a restriction of the airways.
“There were pieces of sponge in the deceased’s throat.”
He said Freeman “had struggled to satisfy Dylan’s care desires over the next year as he got older, he was taller and harder to care for.”
The court was also informed that his behavior had been “particularly difficult” and that “the burden of care had fallen more heavily” on Freeman’s confinement and a friend when Dylan was unable to attend school.
Freeman, who faces only one count of murder, was taken into custody to appear in court on November 4.
Dylan’s father, Dean Freeman, a photographer who has taken over a number of stars such as Bradley Cooper and Emily Ratajkowski, has already paid tribute to his son.
He in Spain when he heard the “shocking and heartbreaking news.”
Dean said in a statement: “Dylan is a beautiful, bright, curious and artistic child who enjoyed traveling, climbing art galleries and swimming.”
“We have traveled a lot together over the years, spending memorable moments in places like Brazil, France and Spain.
“I can’t begin to perceive your loss.”
Dean’s agent added, “He’s a loving and caring father and even though he divorced for several years, he loved all the quality time he spent with his son.”
Dylan’s grandfather Robert also photographer and filmed several iconic Beatles albums, adding A Hard Day’s Night and Rubber Soul.
According to his Facebook page, Freeman is from Moscow, Russia and has lived in Kuala Lumpur.
The investigator launched an investigation after she went to a police station and spoke to officials in the early hours of the morning.
Keith Grindrod, who lives in the construction next door, said he woke up with a “cry in the middle of the night.”
He added: “It sounded like a scream on the next door. It’s a childish cry. That’s enough to wake me up.”
”I can hear below and come down when they and I can listen as the weekends are quiet.
“Then I woke up around 6 a.m. and looked out the window and saw a cop outside.”
Other neighbors say Dylan was disabled and in a wheelchair. He couldn’t talk either.
One of them, who lives across the street from the crime scene, said he saw a child leave the goods in a specially adapted van.
Gillian Fisher, 34, said, “I don’t know who the family circle was, however, if the child is who I think he is, I saw him being taken to school in his wheelchair in a specially adapted van.”
Speaking of the victim, neighbor Guy said: “The child in a wheelchair and severely disabled.
“He couldn’t communicate and spent a lot of time screaming.
“I’ve never noticed them, I don’t think they’ve come out. They only had access to the garden.
