A former X Factor contestant has been charged with the murder of a nine-month-old baby following a five-year police investigation.
Mitchell Callaway, 37, who appeared on the Australian version of the show, was pictured being led from a home in Bowraville, New South Wales on Thursday morning following his arrest before he was later charged with the murder of the baby girl at Macksville Police Station.
Emergency services had been called to a home in Binnaway on July 23, 2018 at around 10am after reports of an unresponsive baby girl. The child was taken to Coonabarabran Hospital and, despite the efforts of medical staff, she died a short time later.
