Mom and Dad Charged with Murder After 1-Year-Old Girl Arrives at Hospital with 'Grievous' Injuries By Christina Coulter

A 1-year-old girl was brought to a U.K. hospital with what police described as “grievous” injuries and later died — and now her parents have been charged with murder.

Emergency services were called at 11:34 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 1, to a home in Newport, Isle of Wight, following reports that a child had been taken to the hospital in critical condition, Hampshire Police said in a news release.

The toddler, identified as Jayla-Jean Mclaren, died two days later on Sunday, Aug. 3, police said.

Her grieving family released a short tribute through police: “Mummy, daddy, and nanny will always love you. Fly high princess.”

Per the BBC, a 31-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman, both from Newport and believed to be Jayla-Jean’s parents, were initially arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. They were released on conditional bail but have since been re-arrested and charged with murder. Both remain in custody as the investigation continues.

Detective Superintendent Rod Kenny said the incident has caused “considerable distress” in the community.
