Four adults and a teenager will face trial in April in connection with the murder of a newborn baby girl found dead in Sheffield. The child, identified as Baby S, was discovered with 33 wounds from 15 separate stabbings at a house in Holywell Heights, Wincobank, on a Sunday.
Andrea Skopova, 20, Peter Horvath, 19, Peter Horvath, 38, and Nina Horvathova, 37, have been charged with murder. All four adults are also charged with causing or allowing the death of a child and perverting the course of justice by allegedly cleaning the crime scene.
A 15-year-old girl appeared in court charged with perverting the course of justice. The prosecutor indicated that the baby's body was found on top of a washing machine in an outhouse at the property.
Skopova, of Robey Street, Grimesthorpe, Sheffield, and the other adult defendants, all residing at Holywell Heights, have been remanded into custody. The 15-year-old girl was remanded into youth custody. The next court hearing is scheduled for October 2.
The trial for the four adult defendants is set to take place at Sheffield Crown Court in April.
