A vile man has been convicted of murder after strangling his girlfriend to death and leaving her body beside their baby.
The daughter of N'Taya Elliott-Cleverley, 20, will have to grow up without a mum after N'Taya was the victim of the "terrible and unprovoked assault".
Mohammed Diakite, also known as Nigel, then 19, strangled Miss Elliott-Cleverley to death using a skipping rope in bed after she planned to leave him, while the couple's then four-month-old child slept next to them, The Liverpool Echo reports.
