Two people have been charged following the death of a child in Putney in 2019.

Police were called at 6.06am on August 27, 2019 to a home in SW15.

Paramedics from London Ambulance Service told police they were responding to reports of a child in cardiac arrest.

The boy, who was aged 15 months, was taken to a west London hospital and pronounced dead at 7.22am.

He was later identified as Jacob Lennon.

A post-mortem examination carried out at Great Ormond Street Hospital on 29 August 2019 gave his cause of death as a head injury.

A man and a woman who were arrested on suspicion of murder were released on bail.

On Thursday, December 2, Jake Drummond, 31, of no fixed address, was charged with murder and Section 18 wounding with intent.

Louise Jane Lennon, 31, of Ingrave Street, Wandsworth, was charged on the same day with neglect of a child and causing/ allowing the death of a child.

Drummond was remanded in custody to appear before Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court on Friday, December 3 at 10.00am.

Lennon was bailed to appear before the same court on the same date and time.
