A MAN and woman from Rugby have appeared in court and pleaded not guilty to charges in relation to the death of a 13-month-old girl.
Isabella Stasisk died in hospital on January 7, 2025 after being taken ill at a house in Rugby.
Kinga Wydrzynska, 25, of Johnson Avenue, and Michal Stasiak, 27, of Blackwood Avenue, were initially charged in January 2025 with murder and causing or allowing the death of a child.
Stasiak was also charged with possession of indecent images.
In December 2025, both were further charged with two counts of sexual assault in relation to Isabella, and three counts of assault/ill-treat/neglect/abandon a child/young person to cause unnecessary suffering/injury in relation to Isabella and two other children.
They appeared at Warwick Crown Court today (Friday January 9) for a procedural hearing to allow all counts to be joined at the same trial.
Both gave not guilty pleas to the five counts above and were remanded by the court.
Their trial has been set for October 6.
