A YOUNG woman has appeared in court charged with the manslaughter of a child.

Danielle Catherine Reeves, 23, of Stirling Drive in Caterham, is accused of killing the youngster on or between September 12 and September 16 last year, in Redhill.

At Redhill Magistrates' Court on Friday, she also faced a charge of assaulting/ill-treating/neglecting/abandoning another child to cause unnecessary suffering or injury.

This charge relates to September 12 last year, also in Redhill.

The defendant, dressed in a black trouser suit, spoke only to confirm her name, age and address.

Due to a court order, the Mirror cannot disclose details of the children's identity.

Miss Reeves was remanded on conditional bail until February 23 when a preliminary hearing is due to take place at Guildford Crown Court.

The two conditions of her bail were that she should not go within 400 metres of a given address in London Road, Redhill, and should not contact any prosecution witnesses.
