Sunderland woman who killed girl, 14, back behind bars for carrying a knife in city centre

A woman who killed a teenager is back behind bars after she was caught carrying a knife in a city centre.

Claire Fowles, 42, has previously served an eight-and-a-half year jail sentence for the manslaughter of a 14-year-old girl. The teen victim died from multilple organ failure after taking drugs supplied to her by Fowles in Lowestoft, Suffolk, in 2003.

Newcastle Crown Court heard Fowles moved to the North East of England after her release from prison and stayed out of trouble for over 17 years. But in April last year Fowles was given a suspended jail sentence for attacking two police officers in South Shields.
