A woman has been charged with murder after a baby died in Starship Hospital a year ago.
The 4-week-old baby boy was hospitalised at Starship Hospital with head injuries and died on January 16 2022.
A 22-year-old woman has been charged with murder, ill-treatment of a child and three counts
of assaulting a child, police said today.
She is due to appear in Auckland District Court this afternoon.
“Any baby homicide is a difficult investigation and the police team have worked hard to get to this stage,” Detective Inspector Scott Beard said.
