Man charged with murder of baby girl

A man is due to appear before Hull Crown Court today to face charges of murdering a 22-month-old Hull girl in February 2014, following an extensive and complex Humberside Police investigation spanning four years.

Yesterday Jonathan Garner, 25, of Thirlmere Avenue, Hull, and his former partner Samantha Gregson, 25, of Melling Close, Chesterfield, both appeared before Hull Magistrates Court yesterday, where the case was committed to crown court.

Both Gregson and Garner face charges of failing to protect a child.

Neither of them entered a plea and Garner was remanded into custody.
