The grieving father of a schoolgirl killed by a mentally ill woman said the inquest process has felt like 'Groundhog Day'.
Emily Jones, 7, was knifed to death as she rode through Queens Park in Bolton on her scooter on Mother's Day 2020. Eltiona Skana, then 30, slit the little girl's throat with a craft knife she had bought from a pound shop on that fateful day on March 22.
Skana, a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, was convicted of manslaughter, by means of diminished responsibility, and was sentenced to life in prison. She must serve a minimum term of 10 years and eight months. She was also made subject to a hospital order.
