Woman appears in court charged with baby's murder

A 37-year-old woman has been charged with the murder of a newborn baby boy.

Silipa Keresi, from Pylewell Road, Hythe, Hampshire, is accused in connection with the death of the "recently born baby'' who was found in an area of woodland in Hythe on March 5 2020.

A Hampshire Police spokesman said Keresi was arrested in March last year and released on bail but remained under investigation while inquiries continued.

He said: "Detectives arrested her again at the weekend and, following advice from the Crown Prosecution Service, have now charged her with the murder.''

Keresi appeared at Southampton Magistrates' Court on Monday (29th) morning and is due before Winchester Crown Court on Wednesday (31st).
