The inquest into the death of a toddler who was murdered in Keighley has been adjourned until July.

Star Hobson died in September 2020 after she was taken to hospital with "unsurvivable injuries".

Her mother Frankie Smith, 20, is serving 12 years in prison for causing or allowing her daughter's death.

Smith's former partner Savannah Brockhill, 28, was sentenced to life in prison in December for Star's murder.

Senior coroner Martin Fleming has requested reports from both the police watchdog and the hospital trust in Bradford.

Another inquest hearing has been set for July 7.
