She admitted before the court in July how she lost temper with her son after he was repeatedly ill following a visit to a resturant on January 12.
She told the court that she repeatedly punched her son and hit his body against a hard object, inflicting multiple injuries on him between January 12 and 15.
Adekoya wrapped Mikaeel's body in a duvet cover, hid it inside a suitcase and drove 25 miles to dump it in the woods behind her sister's house in Kirkcaldy, Fife.
According to the BBC, Adekoya -- who had a history of depression and attempted suicide in 2001 -- had called 999 to report her son missing to police.
But glaring inconsistencies began to appear in her account of events and she finally broke down before police, admitting, "It was an accident and I panicked."
According to the 'Courier', at the weekend Mikaeel's grandfather made an impassioned plea for her to be released early from prison so she can look after her other children.
Ahmed Saeed, 63, said he did not support a current campaign calling for Adekoya to face murder charges as he feels her conviction for culpable homicide is adequate.
Mikaeel's biological father, Zahid Saeed, however, feels that Adekoya should "stay in jail until she dies".
More than 5,000 people had signed a 'Justice for Mikaeel' petition protesting at the failure of prosecutors to pursue a murder charge against Adekoya.
