The pre-trial review of a mother accused of killing her baby has been delayed until the new year.

Federica Boscolo-Gnolo was due to appear at the Old Bailey on Monday (December 14), but the hearing was delayed and has now been scheduled to take place on January 8.

The 31-year-old, who is originally from Italy, is accused of murder following the death of her daughter, aged nine-weeks, at a hotel in Fulham in January this year.

She had previously appeared at the Central Criminal Court in April for a plea and case management hearing, and before that via video link.

Boscolo-Gnolo, of no fixed abode, remains in custody.
