And "evil" couldn't be a more appropriate description.

Joanne Hill, 32, was jailed for life for drowning four-year-old Naomi, who had mild cerebral palsy, in a bath at the family home in North Wales, in November last year.
The jury at Chester Crown Court heard how hard-drinking Hill was ashamed of Naomi's condition, which meant the little girl had to use calipers to help her walk. Judge Elgan Edwards sentenced her to life in prison with a minimum term of 15 years.
Her husband was described in court as a devoted father who refused to consider his wife's request for their daughter to be adopted or fostered by their childminder.
"What she did to my princess Naomi was evil." |

What a pity the British abolished hanging in 1965. |

Holy crap, a woman murderer actually got a realistic sentence. Women murdering children seems to be quite commonplace, and usually they get off with a slap on the wrist. |
