The offence of attempted infanticide has hitherto been unknown in English Law. A case is here described in which a woman was convicted of infanticide, and attempted infanticide, having been charged with murder and attempted murder. The relevance of this is discussed, together with an aspect of infanticide previously unreported in the English literature, i.e. repetition of the offence.
