A woman aged 66 has been charged with manslaughter concerning the death of a young girl in south London back in 1978.
Janice Nix stands accused of the murder of five-year-old Andrea Bernard, whose assault took place in Thornton Heath on June 6, 1978, according to the Metropolitan Police.
Andrea, who authorities state had a connection with Ms. Nix, succumbed to her injuries at a specialized burns unit on July 13 that same year. The Met indicated that a report was filed in September 2022, prompting the initiation of an investigation.
Additionally, Ms. Nix, who resides in Clapham, has been charged with child cruelty related to alleged offenses involving another child who was eight years old at the time. The 66-year-old is scheduled to appear in Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
