## Summary

Maria Skopova’s funeral was held in Sheffield nearly two months after she was found dead on the day she was born. Four adults have been charged with her murder, and a 15-year-old girl faces a separate charge linked to the investigation.

Police said Maria had 33 wounds, which they attributed to separate stabbings. About 50 mourners attended the Slovakian-language service at St Marie’s Catholic Cathedral; her mother, who is in custody, asked to watch it online. The four adults have also been charged with causing or allowing a child’s death and perverting the course of justice, while the teenager is charged with the latter offence; pleas are due on 14 December and a provisional trial is set for April.
