Two parents will appear in court charged with the murder of their eleven-week-old baby daughter.

Krunal Prajapati, 26, and Rinkalben Prajapati, 23, both of no fixed address, will appear in custody at Willesden Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, October 5, charged with the murder of their daughter, Hazel Prajapati.

Both were also charged with allowing or causing the death of a child or vulnerable person.

The Met launched its investigation on September 16 when Hazel was admitted to a north London hospital after being found unresponsive.

She was transferred to a central London hospital where she died four days later.

A special post-mortem examination took place on Monday September 26 and gave the provisional cause of death as a head injury.

Homicide detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command are continuing to investigate.
