Police said Ms Tidmarsh, of Station Road, Littlethorpe, appeared at Leicester Crown Court

A woman has appeared in court charged with murder following the death of a child almost 10 years ago.

Ruby Thompson became unwell at her home in Leicester on 11 August 2012 and was taken to hospital where she died two days later.

Katie Tidmarsh, of Station Road, Littlethorpe, appeared at Leicester Crown Court on Monday.

No pleas were entered but she was granted bail and a provisional trial date was set for 6 March 2023.

Police said earlier that two people were arrested in November 2012 as part of the investigation and later released with no further action.
