Judge Clears Gallery as Woman Cries Hysterically in Newborn Murder Court Hearing

Prosecutors said the newborn suffered 33 wounds from 15 stab injuries as four adults and a 15-year-old faced related charges.

  • Four Slovakian nationals appeared at Sheffield Crown Court on Thursday charged with murdering a newborn identified as Baby S, including Andrea Skopova, 20, Peter Horvath Jnr, 19, Peter Horvath Snr, 38, and Nina Horvathova, 37.
  • The infant was found dead on a washing machine in an outhouse at Holywell Heights, Wincobank, on Sunday, August 30, after medical workers alerted police when Skopova sought treatment shortly after giving birth at 37 weeks.
  • Prosecutor Luke Hopkinson told the court the baby suffered 33 wounds from 15 "separate stabbings," with injuries to her "face and torso — front and back," and a blood-covered knife recovered from the address.
  • Judge Sarah Wright scheduled the trial for April 12 next year, with proceedings expected to last six to seven weeks, while a 15-year-old girl also faces charges for perverting the course of justice.
  • All charged defendants remain in custody, while two other women aged 26 and 37 arrested on suspicion of murder remain on bail; police continue guarding the property in Wincobank, South Yorkshire.
