A 22-year-old woman has been charged with murder after the death of a two-year-old boy in Queensland.

The pair are believed to have been known to each other.

He was later transferred to the Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane, where he died the following day.

Following those investigations, a 22-year-old Frenchville woman was charged with one count of murder and will appear in the Rockhampton Magistrates Court on Monday.
