A teenage mother has pleaded not guilty to murdering her four-month-old baby in Western Australia's South West region.
The baby was brought to Bunbury Regional Hospital in May last year and transferred to Princess Margaret Hospital for Children in Perth, where she died from serious injuries two days later.
Cassandra Rose Doohan, who was 18 at the time, formally entered a plea during her first appearance in the Supreme Court of WA on Monday and was remanded in custody to December 6 for a status conference.
