Woman in court charged with murdering one-year-old girl
Family photoA woman has appeared in court charged with the murder of a one-year-old girl on the Isle of Wight.
Jayla-Jean Mclaren died on 3 August last year after being taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Samara Glover, 27, of Dairy Crest Drive in Newport, has been charged with murder and causing or allowing the death of a child.
Glover, who spoke only to confirm her name and address during the short hearing at Southampton Magistrates' Court, was remanded in custody to appear at Portsmouth Crown Court on Monday.
A 31-year-old man from Newport who was previously arrested on suspicion of murder and other offences has been released on bail until 27 April.
Det Ch Insp Gemma Hunter, from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, said: "We understand that cases such as this are incredibly concerning and upsetting.
"However, we kindly ask that you do not speculate on this case, as it could potentially impact any future court proceedings."
In a statement previously issued through police, the girl's family said: "Mummy, daddy, and nanny will always love you. Fly high princess."
