Woman, 35, charged with murder over baby’s death on Auckland’s North Shore

Police have charged a 35-year-old woman with murder after the death of a baby on Auckland’s North Shore last week.

Police attended a callout where a baby was found dead and a woman with injuries at an address in Silverdale on November 15.

The woman was taken to Auckland City Hospital in a serious condition, where she remains under hospital guard.

After police investigations, she has now been charged with murder and will appear in the North Shore District Court tomorrow and is expected to appear in the High Court at Auckland next month.
