Four adults face murder charges over Sheffield baby’s death

Four adults and a 15-year-old girl have been charged following the death of a newborn baby in Sheffield, United Kingdom. The baby girl was discovered at a house on Holywell Heights in the Wincobank area on Sunday morning after police were called over concerns for her safety. According to police, two men, aged 19 and 38, and two women, aged 20 and 37, are facing charges of murder, causing or allowing the death of a child, and perverting the course of justice over allegations that they took steps to conceal the killing of the infant. The suspects have been identified as Peter Horvath, 19, of Holywell Heights; Andrea Skopova, 20, formerly of Robey Street; Nina Horvatova, 37, of Holywell Heights; and Peter Horvath, 38, also of Holywell Heights. The 15-year-old girl, whose identity is protected because of her age, has been charged with perverting the course of justice.

Police said all five suspects have been remanded in custody and are expected to appear before Sheffield Magistrates’ Court. Detectives are continuing their investigation to establish the full circumstances surrounding the newborn’s death and determine what led to the incident. Authorities have not disclosed further details about the cause of death as investigations remain ongoing.
