A WOMAN who was charged with murder following the death of a one-month-old baby will appear at Crown Court.
Chelsea Louise Cuthbertson is due to appear at Southampton Crown Court on Friday.
The 27-year-old of Knightwood Road in Hythe appeared before Southampton Magistrates' Court this morning via videolink.
Wearing a face mask she spoke only to confirm her name, address and date of birth.
It follows an incident at a flat in Knightwood Road on February 2 last year.
South Central Ambulance Service rushed to the property to treat a baby boy.
The magistrates' court heard how the baby died on February 6 having suffered from a number of serious injuries.
The baby cannot be named after an identification ban was imposed by the court today.
A 42-year-old man was previously arrested but was released without charge with no further action, according to police.
