Woman charged with murder of 18-month-old boy who fell from sixth-floor window

A 23-year-old woman has been charged with the murder of an 18-month-old boy who fell from a sixth-floor window in Bradford.

Gemma Procter will appear in court on Monday over the death of Elliot Procter, West Yorkshire Police said.

Procter, of Newcastle House, Bradford, will appear before the city's magistrates over the incident, which was reported to police at about 5.10pm on Saturday.

Police said investigations remain ongoing by the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team.

At the time of the arrest, Detective Superintendent Nick Wallen, who is leading the investigation, said: "This is clearly an extremely traumatic incident and specially trained officers are working to support the child's family members and those who witnessed what took place.

"It is no exaggeration to say those who witnessed this incident will have been deeply traumatised by what they saw."
