Perth mother murders her 4 week old son

The Perth Magistrates Court has been told charges against a 39 year old woman over the death of her baby, may be upgraded to murder.

Rebecca Doreen Morley is currently charged with causing grievous bodily harm to her four week old son.

An ambulance was called to the family's Leederville home in the early morning.

The baby was taken to Royal Perth Hospital but later died.

Ms Morley has made a brief appearance in court.

The police prosecutor said the charge may be upgraded once the results of a post mortem examination were known.

Ms Morley was remanded into the care of a police officer who took her to Graylands hospital.

She is due back in court next week.
