A man has been charged with murdering a three-year-old boy in County Derry.

The child was found dead at his Columbcille Court home in the Bogside area of the city last September.

A 23-year-old man is appearing before Derry Magistrates Court today charged with the boy’s murder.

Meanwhile, a 24-year-old woman who was also arrested on Monday has been released pending a report to prosecutors.
