Mum and stepdad left daughter, 5, in cold bath at Leeds home as 'tortuous punishment' until she was just minutes from death

A five-year-old girl was just minutes from death and had a core temperature of just 25C after being left in a cold bath by her mother and stepfather.

Georgia Newman, 29, from Huddersfield, and her partner, Jordan Kilkenny, also 29, put the child into the cold bath at their home in Leeds on November 1, 2019, and left her there.

Leeds Crown Court on Monday heard Newman - who was 34 weeks pregnant at the time - lied and told hospital staff the girl had "slipped and banged her head in the bath and blamed it on the bubble bath and said she would not be buying that brand again."
