Man appears in Townsville court charged with 3yo girl’s death

A 29-year-old man has appeared in the Townsville Magistrates court following the death of a three-year-old girl.

Aaron Hill was arrested and charged with manslaughter on Friday night.

His co-accused and mother of the child, 37-year-old Laura Peverill, did not appear.

She is facing a manslaughter charge.

The couple was arrested in relation to the girl’s death on Friday.

Police allege the child was left in a car for a considerable amount of time.

Authorities say early investigations suggest the girl died from heat exposure.

Both matters have been adjourned until December 14.
