http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2754772/Mother-father-charged-murdering-nine-month-old-daughter-died-result-severe-malnourishment.html

Brian Kandare, 32, and wife Precious, 36, from Wolverhampton, have been charged with daughter Rebecca's murder.

The baby was rushed to New Cross Hospital, in Wolverhampton, from her home on January 6 this year.

Despite attempts to save her, Rebecca, who suffered from rickets, died from pneumonia as a result of severe malnourishment.

Her parents were arrested at the time and later bailed.

But yesterday, West Midlands Police announced the pair had been charged with Rebecca's murder.

The parents appeared at Wolverhampton Magistrates' Court.

The couple were kept in custody after a brief hearing and are due at the city's Crown Court on Monday.

Earlier this year, Wolverhampton City Council said the child was not known to social care services.

As if they are any help

At that time, residents in Park Village spoke of their shock at the baby's death.

Phil Yates, who has lived in the area for 35 years, said: 'It's a shock and sad to hear.'

Another woman who has lived in the area for 37 years added: 'It's a huge shock, terrible news. Some parts of Park Village are quiet and others are like a war zone but not all people here are bad.'

Councillor for Park Village, Milkinder Jaspal, said: 'This is disturbing news for the community and for people living in the rest of the city.'

I purposely sought out the Daily Mail report so that the usual clique of morons can say that it must be lies.

I find that a bit difficult to believe.

No visits from a midwife in 9 months? 

Not seen by neighbours in 9 months?

Not taken to a doctor in 9 months?

Despite it being the Daily Mail...I believe

there is quite a high number of children die at the hands of their parents

it gets little publicity

anything to do with sex, of course gets shoved down our throat 24 hours a day

someone was groped 40 years ago

we have worrying values

not that I excuse any type of abuse, this obsession with sexual abuse only concerns me
