Two people arrested following the death of a one-year-old child from Rugby have been charged.
At 4.37am on Tuesday (7 January) we received a report of a baby in cardiac arrest at a house in the New Bilton area of the town.
The baby was taken to hospital but sadly died.
A 26-year-old man and 24-year-old woman from Rugby have both been charged with murder and causing or allowing the death of a child.
The man has also been charged with possession of indecent images.
They will appear at Coventry Magistrates’ Court today (Friday 10 January).
PLEASE NOTE: For operational reasons we have taken the decision not to name the suspects at this time. We will be seeking reporting restrictions at court and the media are invited to make representations.
