Mum caged for life after brutal murder of tot as dad breaks down in tears

The heartbroken father of Daniel James Hodgson Green broke down in tears as the tot's mother was sentenced for murder. Carol Hodgson killed Daniel, two, in Guisborough, North Yorkshire, during an incident in February this year.

Cleveland Police attended the property on February 2 after a report of concern was made about the toddler. He was taken to hospital but sadly died, Yorkshire Live reports.

The death of the tot shocked the community, with locals holding a vigil and laid flowers at the home. Teesside Crown Court heard how Hodgson "deliberately killed Daniel then made an attempt to kill herself" but her defence stated that she "accepts full responsibility for the murder of her son".
