Woman charged with poisoning baby
A woman has been charged with poisoning her daughter after she died from a suspected methadone overdose.
Holly Agius, 14 months, died at the Gloucestershire Royal Hospital after being found "in a poorly condition" at her home near Coleford on 12 January.
Her mother, Bonny Richards, 27, and an unnamed man, 31, have each been charged with two counts of administering poison with intent to endanger life.

WTH? "administering poison with the intent to endanger life"? The baby DIED, so why isn't this a murder charge?
I will never understand why killing your baby doesn't net you as much as killing some adult. Injecting a baby with poison is just the same as shooting an adult, IMO. A baby's life shouldn't be treated so cheaply.
