A woman is set to appear in court after being charged with the murder of her baby daughter in Leeds.

Hayley Macfarlane, aged 39 and from Barnsley, will appear before Leeds magistrates on Saturday 23 December, West Yorkshire Police said.

It follows the death of five-month-old Evelyn, who was found in a serious condition in Woodhouse Moor park on Wednesday evening.

The baby was taken to hospital but later pronounced dead.
