Summary
Five people were charged after a newborn girl was found stabbed to death at a house in Sheffield’s Wincobank area on Sunday morning.
Two men aged 19 and 38 and two women aged 20 and 37 face murder, causing or allowing the death of a child, and perverting the course of justice by allegedly concealing the killing.
A 15-year-old girl was separately charged with perverting the course of justice; police said all five were remanded in custody.
Holywell Heights became the center of the case after officers were called over concerns for the baby’s safety, with the suspects due to appear at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court later.
