Man in court accused of baby's murder

A man will appear in court in Britain today charged with the murder of a 14-month-old boy.

An east London hospital contacted the Metropolitan Police at about 2pm last Thursday about a dead child.

The boy had been brought in earlier that day and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

A post-mortem examination on Saturday at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital gave the cause of death as blunt trauma injury to the abdomen.

Nathan Allen, 26, from Romford, Essex, will appear at Havering Magistrates Court this morning.
