Babysitter Denies Murder Ahead Of Retrial
A babysitter accused of killing a two-year-old will face a retrial in a bid to clear her name.
Suzanne Holdworth, 37, of Millpool Close, has denied that she banged Kyle Fisher's head against a banister in a fit of temper.
At a hearing at Leeds Crown Court, Ms Holdworth, a mother of two, pleaded not guilty to killing Kyle.
The court heard that Ms Holdworth will go on trial at Teeside Crown Court but a date has not yet been fixed.
She has been given conditional bail.
Ms Holdsworth had been babysitting Kyle while his 19-year-old single mother, Clare Fisher, was at a local nightclub in July 2004.
Lawyers representing Ms Holdworth claim that fresh evidence will clear her of the murder and that she suffered a miscarriage of justice.
Ms Holdworth's family have always maintained her innocence.
