Police had been called to hospital on January 3 after concerns were raised about the boy, and a criminal investigation was launched.

On Friday, Tanisha Henry, 28, of Woolwich, and Mikael Williams, 30, of Southwark, south-east London, were charged with murder and causing or allowing the death of a child.

They will appear at Woolwich Crown Court on April 22.
