A woman has been charged with murder and neglect following the death of a seven-month-old baby in Essex.

Police officers visited an address in Buckhurst Hill at around 3am on August 15 last year after receiving a call from the ambulance service.

A baby was taken to hospital but later died and tests showed the child had suffered multiple fractures.

Shalina Kukkundoor Padmanabha, 31, of Epping New Road, Buckhurst Hill will appear at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Friday, charged with murder.

A man and a woman were arrested on August 21 last year in connection with the incident, but the man has since been released without charge.
