Man and woman face trial over death of baby in Cambridgeshire

Teddie Mitchell, from St Neots, sustained injuries and was admitted to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge on November 1, last year.

The 12-week-old died in hospital 10 days later on November 11.

A second post-mortem examination could be held in a bid to establish his medical cause of death, a hearing at Cambridge Crown Court was told today (July 3).

Kane Mitchell, 30, of no fixed address but formerly of St Neots, appeared by video-link from HMP Peterborough charged with Teddie’s murder.

Lucci Smith, 29, of Pattison Court, St Neots, appeared by video-link from HMP Peterborough charged with causing or allowing the death of a child.

Neither of the defendants was asked to enter a plea.

Judge David Farrell QC remanded them both in custody, with no applications for bail made.

They are due back before the court for a case management hearing on October 30.

A provisional trial date has been set for November 30, with a High Court judge to preside over it.
