Killer who slashed neck of schoolgirl Emily Jones, 7, could have sentence reduced

The woman who attacked and killed schoolgirl Emily Jones in a Bolton park on Mother's Day could see her sentence reduced.

Eltiona Skana was handed a life sentence with a minimum of ten years and eight months, along with a hospital order which means she will not be sent to prison until doctors deem her fit.
