Four Adults, 15-Year-Old Girl Charged Over Newborn Baby’s Death in Sheffield

Four adults and a 15-year-old girl have been charged following the death of a newborn baby in Sheffield, England, after police were called to a house over concerns for the infant’s safety.

The baby girl was found at a property on Holywell Heights in the Wincobank area on Sunday morning. Police began an investigation after responding to reports raising concerns about the child.

Two men, aged 19 and 38, and two women, aged 20 and 37, have been charged with murder, causing or allowing the death of a child, and perverting the course of justice.

Police allege that the suspects took steps to conceal the circumstances surrounding the death of the infant.

The 15-year-old girl has separately been charged with perverting the course of justice. She cannot be named because she is a minor.

The five suspects have been remanded in custody and are expected to appear before Sheffield Magistrates’ Court.

Those charged are Peter Horvath, 19, of Holywell Heights; Andrea Skopova, 20, formerly of Robey Street; Nina Horvathova, 37, of Holywell Heights; Peter Horvath, 38, of Holywell Heights; and the 15-year-old girl.

Detectives are continuing their investigation to establish exactly what happened to the newborn and the circumstances surrounding her death.

The charges remain allegations at this stage, and the suspects will have the opportunity to respond to them through the court process.
