A woman is to appear in court charged with the murder of a three-year-old boy who died after being found injured at a home in Nottinghamshire.

Leila Picker, 22, of Jacksdale, was arrested this week and will appear at Nottingham magistrates court on Saturday.

Nottinghamshire police said they were called to a house in Main Road, Jacksdale, on 7 August and found the boy seriously injured. He was taken to hospital but died of his injuries on 9 August.

DI Steve Wragg of Nottinghamshire police said: “This is a tragic incident that has seen a boy lose his life. We have been working hard to establish the circumstances around the boy’s death and have now charged a woman with murder.

“We would reassure the public that we believe the incident was isolated and contained within a house on Main Road, and that we are now not looking for anyone else as our investigation continues.

“Our thoughts are with the child’s family, who have asked for privacy during this incredibly difficult time.”
