A Queensland woman has been jailed for nine years for negligently leaving her two young daughters to die in a hot car.
Kerri-Ann Conley, 30, of Waterford West suburb in Logan, pleaded guilty in Brisbane Supreme Court this week to two counts of manslaughter and was sentenced on Thursday.
Justice Peter Applegarth said Conley had shown "gross criminal neglect" as her daughters' sole custodian at the time and had made the "inexcusable" decision to leave the children in the car.
