PARENTS were today charged with the murder of their young son, who was found dead at an address in Smith’s Wood last year.

Mark Piper, 31, and Danielle Cassin, 26, were remanded in custody and will appear before Birmingham Magistrates tomorrow (Friday).

Cassin, 26, of Frensham Close, Chelmsley Wood, and Piper, of Helmes Close, Handsworth Wood, are also accused of neglect and causing or allowing the death of a child.
