A woman accused of murdering a seven-year-old boy has appeared in court.

Papaipit Linse, 43, is accused of killing Louis Linse in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, on January 10 this year.

No pleas were entered when she appeared before Swansea Crown Court on Monday.

The judge, Paul Thomas KC, set a further hearing for October 25.

The prosecution was represented by Caroline Rees KC and the defence by John Hipkin KC.

Louis was pronounced dead at Withybush General Hospital after police were called to an address on Upper Market Street.

In January, coroner’s officer Pc Carrie Sheridan told Pembrokeshire Coroner’s Court: “At 10.44am on Wednesday January 10, police received an emergency phone call reporting the suspected death of a child.

“He was taken to Withybush General Hospital. Despite the best efforts of the emergency services at the scene and medical staff at the hospital, he was pronounced deceased at 12pm on Wednesday January 10.”
