'Baby killer' Laura Castle murdered one-year-old boy she hoped to adopt

A woman was found guilty of murdering a one-year-old baby who she wanted to adopt.

Laura Castle was found guilty of the murder of Leiland-James Corkhill during a trial at Preston Crown Court. The 38-year-old had previously admitted to the manslaughter of the one-year-old but always denied murder.

However, a jury found her unanimously guilty after three hour of deliberations, reports the Mirror. Castle wept uncontrollably in the dock as the jury heard she would be "forever remembered as a baby killer with all the stigma attached to the term".
