Man charged with toddler murder Dead girl 'victim of sex abuse'
(about 17 hours later)
A 30-year-old man has been charged with the murder of 15-month-old Millie Martin in County Fermanagh. A man has been in court charged with the murder of 15-month-old Millie Martin in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh.
The child died in the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast on Friday after she was attacked and badly beaten at a house in Enniskillen on Thursday. Barry Michael McCarney, 30, an unemployed man from Sally's Wood, Irvinestown, appeared at Omagh Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
Millie suffered severe injuries. There was speculation that her back was broken. He is the partner of Millie's mother and the court heard he denied having anything to do with the girl's death.
The man, believed to come from the Irvinestown area, is expected to appear at Omagh Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. The court also heard that Mille may have been sexually assaulted.
In a statement released on Saturday, Millie's family said they were suffering "unbearable grief" and that they were "heartbroken" and "numb" with pain. That allegation was made by medical staff at the Erne hospital in Enniskillen where Millie was taken on Thursday.
Det Insp John Caldwell told the court that police had been contacted by staff at the hospital after Millie was admitted in "a lifeless condition".
The court was also told that Millie's mother Rachel was not in the house when the child was injured as she had gone out to get take-away food.
Mr McCarney's solicitor said his client had given a "detailed account" to police during four days of questioning.
Mr McCarney was remanded in custody.
