Two people have been charged over the death of a two year old girl in Tyrone. The toddler was rushed to hospital on Friday with head injuries from a home in Dungannon but later died in hospital. In a statement, the PSNI said that a 32 year old man has been charged with murder and perverting the course of justice, along with a 24 year old woman being charged with causing or allowing the death of a child and perverting the course of justice. The two are set to appear at Omagh Magistrates' Court sometime later today.
