A woman has appeared in court charged with the murder of a baby who was discovered in woodland 26 years ago.
Baby 'Callum' was discovered close to the Gulliver's World theme park in Warrington in March 1998.
Joanne Sharkey, 54, of West Derby, Liverpool, appeared at Warrington Magistrates' Court today charged with murder and concealment of the birth of a child.
Wearing a brown sweatshirt and with brown hair tied up in a short ponytail, she spoke only to confirm her name, date of birth and address, and appeared to be shaking as she stood in the dock.
The defendant, of Denham Close, was remanded in custody and will appear before Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday.
