A man and woman have appeared before a Crown Court judge charged over the death of their two-month-old daughter.
Worcester Crown Court was told that Tyler Vallance, aged 20, and Jessica Wiggins, 19, will stand trial in June next year in connection with the death of Isabella Vallance.
Vallance, of no fixed address, has yet to enter formal pleas to charges of murder and child cruelty.
Wiggins, of Engadine Road, Bromsgrove, is accused of cruelty and causing or allowing Isabella's death.
Judge Patrick Thomas QC ordered both defendants to reappear in court on Monday, December 9, this year for a further administrative hearing.
Isabella, who is alleged to have been injured at an address in Redditch, died last December after being transferred to Birmingham Children's Hospital from the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch.
