Two women have been bailed to appear at Bolton Crown Court charged with the neglect and manslaughter of a Wigan borough toddler.

Two-year-old Maisie Newton from Atherton died at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital in December 2021, leading Greater Manchester Police to launch an investigation.

An inquest into her death was opened at Bolton Coroner’s Court in February this year.
