Two men and two women remanded in custody over alleged murder of 'Baby S' in Sheffield
A court today heard the victim will be referred to only as ‘Baby S’ in publications
Two women and two men have been remanded in custody charged with the stabbing murder of a newborn girl in Sheffield.
The infant, known only as ‘Baby S’, was found by officers at an address on Holywell Heights in Wincobank on Sunday, August 30, following reports of concern for the safety of a child.
Seven people were initially arrested, and five in total have been charged over her death.
Andrea Skopova, aged 20, Peter Horvath, 19, Peter Horvath, 38, and Nina Horvathova, 37, have been charged with murder, causing or allowing the death of a child, and perverting the course of justice by taking steps to conceal the killing of an infant.
A 15-year-old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons due to her age, has been charged with perverting the course of justice.
The CPS revealed on Tuesday a post-mortem examination found the infant girl died from stab wounds.
Horvath (38), Horvath (19) and Horvathova, all of Holywell Heights, and Skopova, formerly of Robey Street, Grimesthorpe, Sheffield, appeared at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, September 2.
All four were remanded into custody.
Two women, aged 26 and 37, who were arrested on suspicion of murder remain on bail.
Lauren Costello, deputy chief Crown prosecutor at CPS Yorkshire and Humberside, said: “It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in anyway prejudice these proceedings."
