Woman charged with murder of boy

4:12 pm on 23 September 2008

Police have charged a woman with the murder of an Auckland boy.

Dylan Rimoni, aged three, died in Starship Hospital from unexplained head injuries in April after his life support was turned off.

A caregiver, 36, has already appeared in court charged with assaulting him.

Police say they have charged a woman, 36, with the child's murder.

She will also face two counts of causing grievous bodily harm, and one of assault on a child - charges which police say relate to earlier incidents not immediately related to the death.

The woman is to appear in Papakura District Court on Tuesday.
