A mum who slowly starved her own disabled daughter to death has been jailed for nine years and seven months.
Elain Clarke, 49, confessed to killing her daughter and was convicted of gross negligent manslaughter of 24-year-old Debbie Leitch, who had Down’s Syndrome.
She died from severe emaciation and neglect - with the judge saying Clarke "abandoned her to die in pain, without nourishment in the most awful surroundings."
