MOTHER IN COURT OVER DEATH OF BABY FOUND IN BATH

A mother charged over the death of her baby, who was found unresponsive in the bath, has appeared in court.

Danielle Massey is accused of causing or allowing the death of Charlie Goodall, who was found in a house in Chilton, County Durham, in 2022.

The seven-month-old was airlifted to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary but died shortly after arrival.

No pleas were entered during the hearing at Newton Aycliffe Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

Charlie was found unresponsive in the bath when police were called by paramedics to a house in West Chilton Terrace on 16 February 2022.

Ms Massey, 31, is also charged with possession of cannabis.

She was remanded on bail until the next hearing on 14 May at Durham Crown Court.
