Woman in court over baby death

A woman is due to appear in court today charged with the murder of a 10-day-old child.

Police found the girl's body in a canal off the Longford river in Feltham last month. A post-mortem examination at Great Ormond Street Hospital gave cause of death as a severe head injury.

A 35-year-old woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was detained under the Mental Health Act. She is due to appear at Feltham magistrates court.
