A YOUNG couple were due to go on trial today after the death of the woman’s child.

Sharon Wright, 23, of Almondbury Bank, Moldgreen, and Peter McKenzie-Seaton, 21, of Meadow Lane, Northallerton, North Yorkshire, face a charge of allowing or causing the death a child.

They were due to appear at Bradford Crown Court this morning.

The charge relates to the death of Wright’s four-year-old daughter, Leticia Aalayah Wright (pictured), in Huddersfield Royal Infirmary last November, shortly after paramedics were called to Sharon Wright’s home.

Leticia was a pupil at Moldgreen School.
