British mother denies killing 21-month-old son

A weeping British mother today denied killing her 21-month-old son who was found with multiple injuries at his home.

Collette Harris (aged 30) of Chapel Close, Dartford, Kent, and James Phillips (aged 25) of Dale View, Erith, Kent, pleaded not guilty at the Old Bailey to murdering Bobby Louch on December 29 last year.

They also denied a second charge of causing or allowing his death.

Bobby was taken to hospital from Halcot Avenue, Bexleyheath, Kent, where he was living with his mother, but died from multiple injuries.

Harris and Phillips were remanded on bail to face trial on April 19.
