A student nurse is to stand trial accused of attempting to kidnap a child from a hospital.
Safia Ahmadei, 36, appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Friday and pleaded not guilty to the offence which is alleged to have taken place at New Cross Hospital in the city between the 12 and 14 February.
She also denied a further charge of conspiracy to kidnap.
Edris Sahabzada, 44, pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to kidnap while two others, Abrahim Sahabzada, 40 and Zahra Sahebzadeh, 38, have yet to enter pleas.
All four are from Wolverhampton.
Ms Ahmadei was arrested at the hospital after officers were called, West Midlands Police said last month, adding they continue to work with The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust.
A trial date has been set for 12 August.
