Channel 4 earlier this year, re-examines the evidence from a trial 25 years ago which had the nation baffled.British au pair Louise Woodward, 19, left to work for the Eappen family in Boston, Massachusetts in the US in 1997.However, just 10 weeks after she started the job, one of the children who she cared for, eight-month-old Matthew, died from brain injuries.Louise was accused of causing the brain injuries, and was subsequently arrested for battery of a child, with police accusing her of shaking the baby and "dropping" him.Here we take a closer look at the horrific case – and where Louise is today.Louise Woodward was born in Cheshire in 1978.

After finishing her A-levels she moved to Boston, Massachusetts in the US, where she started working for the Eappen family.Aged just 19, she worked as an au pair, and was employed by parents Deborah and Sunil Eappen.However, 10 weeks after being employed, on February 1997, one of the children was taken to hospital after Louise noticed he wasn't breathing.Louise was later arrested for battery of a child after police alleged she had "dropped" Matthew on the bed.Matthew fell into a coma five days after being admitted, and eventually died on February 9 1997 from a fractured skull and major brain haemorrhage.Louise Woodward reportedly told police in a statement she had "popped the baby on the bed", and they later alleged she had admitted to shaking the toddler.These words were heard by the jury, and the prosecution argued that Matthew had died as a result of Shaken Baby Syndrome.Woodward pleaded not guilty to battery of a child, but the prosecution had painted her as a "liar".There was a clear divide among those who believed she was innocent or not, but she was ultimately convicted of.
