The mother of murdered toddler Star Hobson has had her jail sentence increased by four years.
Frankie Smith was initially sentenced to eight years imprisonment for causing or allowing the death of Star, but her term has now been raised to 12 years behind bars, The Mirror reports. The toddler was only 16 months old at the time of her death.
Frankie's former lover, Savannah Brockhill, was also handed a minimum of 25 years imprisonment after being found guilty of murder. Star's father, Jordan Hobson, who is a student at the University of Sunderland has since spoke of how he will 'never recover' from his daughter's death.
