A 39-YEAR-OLD Pickering man was appearing at Scarborough Magistrates Court today charged with the murder of a 13-month-old baby.
The man was arrested and questioned by police in February over the death of Kieran Brown, from Birch Avenue, Malton, in York Hospital on December 15, 2000.
A 32-year-old Malton woman charged with neglect will appear before magistrates on Wednesday.
Kieran's death had been under investigation since December, 2000. Police declined to give further details.
An inquest was opened and adjourned three months later, in early 2001, after which police released Kieran's body.
A funeral took place for him at St Mary's Priory, Old Malton, and he was later buried at Malton Cemetery.
