A man and a woman are to appear in court connection with the death of a 15-month-old baby boy in Birmingham.

West Midlands Police said the child was taken to hospital on Thursday where he later died. A post mortem-examination showed he died from abdominal injuries.

A 21-year-old woman from Bromford is charged with manslaughter and causing or allowing the death of a child.

A man, aged 21, from Castle Vale is also charged with murder. They will appear before city magistrates later.

A police spokesman said officers were called to an address in Castle Vale on Thursday following a report from ambulance staff.
