A mother is to appear in court charged in connection with the death of her baby in County Durham.

Danielle Massey has been charged with causing or allowing the death of a child following the death of seven-month-old Charlie Goodall at their home in February 2022.

The 31-year-old has also been charged with possession of cannabis and will appear at Newton Aycliffe Magistrates’ Court tomorrow (16th April).

On February 16th 2022, police were alerted by paramedics to a house in West Chilton Terrace in Chilton where a baby boy was found to be unresponsive in the bath.

The child was airlifted to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle but sadly died shortly after arrival.
