Woman charged with murder after newborn baby found dead in garden

A woman has been charged with murder after a baby was found dead in a garden.

Police said it was a significant development in a “complex and sensitive investigation” that had followed the discovery of the newborn’s body in Somerset nearly two years ago.

Sarah Jayne Barron from Weston-super-Mare has been charged with one count of murder in the early hours of Tuesday and is due to appear in court later.

It comes nearly two years after a newborn was found dead in a private garden in Weston-super-Mare in December 2020.

A man previously arrested in connection with the investigation has been released without charge with no further action being taken against him, according to Avon and Somerset Police.

Detective Superintendent Gary Haskins said on Tuesday: “This is a significant development in what has been a complex and sensitive investigation.

“We know this update will impact on the local community where the incident happened, and we’d encourage anyone with concerns or worries to speak to their local Neighbourhood Policing team.”
