Star Hobson's evil killer mum still phones family 'heartbroken' over death of innocent toddler

As they mark the two-year anniversary of her death, Star Hobson's family say that they will 'never get over' their tragic loss.

When Star was just 16-months-old, she was brutally beaten to death by club bouncer Savannah Brockhill, 28, who was in a relationship with the toddler's mam.

Brockhill was in-turn jailed for a minimum term of 25 years for her part, and Star's mum - Frankie Smith, 20 - was also handed a 12 year sentence behind bars for causing, or allowing, the death. Although Frankie was initially only sentenced for eight years, the Court of Appeal extended this.
