The BBC reports that the mother of a seven-year-old girl who was starved to death at her home in Birmingham has lodged an appeal to reduce her jail sentence. The mother pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Khyra Ishaq on the grounds of diminished responsibility and was sentenced to 15 years in March.
The seven-year-old weighed 2st 9lb (16.5kg) when she was found at home in Handsworth, Birmingham, in May 2008 and died later in hospital.
