A mother has been charged with allowing the death of her 15-month-old son, with her boyfriend charged for the toddler’s murder.
Louise Lennon and Jake Drummond will appear in court on Friday over the death of Jacob Lennon in south-west London in 2019, the Metropolitan Police said.
Paramedics were called to reports of a child suffering a cardiac arrest at a home in Putney in the early hours of August 27.
Jacob was taken to hospital and pronounced dead soon afterwards. A post-mortem examination carried out at Great Ormond Street Hospital two days later said he died from a head injury.
