The father of schoolgirl Emily Jones - who was killed in a Bolton park on Mother's Day - said he felt 'relieved' as her killer failed in her sentence appeal bid.
Emily, seven, had been riding her scooter towards her mother in Queen's Park on March 22, 2020, when she was grabbed by Eltiona Skana, who fatally slashed her across the neck with a craft knife.
Skana pleaded guilty to manslaughter by diminished responsibility and was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 10 years and eight months following a court appearance last year.
