A woman has been charged with murdering a baby boy whose body was found in woodland a year ago.

Maliki Keresi was discovered close to Shore Road in Hythe, near Southampton, on 5 March 2020.

Hampshire Constabulary said Silipa Keresi, of Pylewell Road, was arrested at the weekend for the second time in connection with the newborn's death.

The 37-year-old appeared at Southampton Magistrates' Court earlier, where she was remanded in custody.

She is due to appear at Winchester Crown Court on 31 March.

Police said she had previously been arrested in early March 2020 after the discovery of the baby's body.
