A TODDLER is to be cremated more than two years after he died.

Corinthian Kemp was left badly disabled after being injured only days after his birth in Huddersfield.

His parents face a court hearing next month, charged with causing or allowing his death.

A cremation is to be held for the tot, following an inquest into his death.

Corinthian was allegedly attacked when he was just five days old. He died in his mother’s arms the day after his second birthday.

Corinthian was born at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary in August 2007 and lost his battle for life in August 2009.

Bradford Coroner’s Court heard that the child had died from an infection due to a head injury, possibly from his head being banged against his cot shortly after birth.

Three separate post mortems had been carried out including two by experts working for Corinthian’s young parents Caroline Kemp and Thomas Corcoran.

Corcoran, of Croft Gardens, Birkby, and Kemp, of Erringden Road, Mytholmroyd, near Hebden Bridge, both 21, have been bailed to appear at Leeds Crown Court on November 11 for a plea and case management hearing.

A trial, expected to last for five weeks, has been listed for February 13 next year.

The inquest was told Corinthian had been born on August 6, 2007, and was immediately subject to a protection order because of concerns about parenting abilities.

The court heard Corinthian was settled in his cot after his birth and both parents had access to the baby. Coroner’s officer Stephen Hepplestone, said that at 3pm Mr Corcoran told staff the baby was “floppy” and the couple were advised to feed the child which they did.
