A woman has been charged with murder following inquiries into the death of a baby in Sydney's west yesterday.
Just after midday (Tuesday 2 February 2021), emergency services were called to a home on Sedgman Crescent at Shalvey after an eight-week-old girl was found unconscious in a bath.
The baby was taken to The Children's Hospital at Westmead; however, she died a short time later.
Officers from Mt Druitt Police Area Command established a crime scene at the home, which was forensically examined.
A 35-year-old woman was arrested at the home and taken under police guard to Westmead Hospital for treatment and assessment.
The woman has since been charged with murder and appeared by way of bedside hearing at Mt Druitt Local Court this afternoon (Wednesday 3 February 2021).
She was refused bail to appear at the same court on 31 March 2021.
