Couple gaoled for starving child

The mother of Khyra Ishaq has been sentenced to 15 years. The mother’s boyfriend was gaoled indefinitely. Both were convicted of starving Khrya to death.

Although the mother was cleared of murdering Khyra , she admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. It is expected that she will spend seven-and-a-half years in prison and spend the rest on licence. Her partner also pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
