Wet baby in tumble dryer: man charged

A 13-month-old baby suffered horrific burns when she was put in a clothes dryer, police say.

The baby was left with her mother's boyfriend, Samuel Marc Barnes Siddall, 21, at a home in the Perth suburb of Warwick while the woman went to a gym for about an hour.

Police were told the baby had spilt liquid on herself and the man put her in the clothes dryer and turned it on.

The mother returned home to find her daughter suffering serious burns but her boyfriend did not mention the dryer.
