A 34-year-old woman has been remanded in custody "for her own protection" after appearing in court charged with the murder of her daughter.
The body of four-year-old Zoey Anne David, was found in her bedroom in the Maesglas area of Newport, Wales on 19 June.
The girl's mother, Zoe David, was also found nearby with serious injuries. She had been taken to the city's Royal Gwent Hospital.
The 34-year-old was remanded into a psychiatric clinic for 28 days and her case was sent to Cardiff Crown Court.
Paul Latner, prosecuting, asked that Ms David be remanded in custody for her own protection. David Leathley, defending, made no application for bail.
An inquest into Zoey Anne's death will be opened by the Gwent coroner later at the Newport Civic Centre.
According to Gwent Police, the provisional cause of death is consistent with suffocation.
Deputy Gwent Coroner Wendy James adjourned the inquest to allow Zoey-Anne's body to be released for her funeral.
