A couple have appeared in court accused of killing their four-month-old daughter.
Daniel Sheard and Lucy Damen appeared before Kirklees Magistrates' Court in Huddersfield today after Kayleigh Mai Sheard was found dead at their flat in Scholes, Cleckheaton.
The pair spoke only to confirm their names and addresses during the short hearing.
Damen, 19, and Sheard, 21, were arrested early on Monday after police were called to the flat in Foldings Avenue.
The pair were remanded in custody by magistrates to appear at Leeds Crown Court on October 17.
No pleas to the charges of familial homicide and unlawful killing were entered.
