Sarah Ngaba, 32, of Telford, Shropshire, is sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of her baby daughter, Eliza Ngaba. Multiple outlets report that jurors found she caused serious head injuries that doctors described as life-shortening and life-limiting. The court hears she admitted causing the injuries and was convicted of murder following a trial held earlier this year, with sentencing reported as taking place on Friday.
The reports also describe the circumstances around events following the injuries. They state Ngaba had taken a bath and delayed more than half an hour before arranging transport to take Eliza to hospital. One outlet adds that she stopped to buy a lottery ticket on the way to the hospital, a detail presented as part of the prosecution case.
The sentence includes a minimum term of 12 years before she can be considered for release. Outlets characterise the conduct in strong terms, but all agree on the conviction for murder and the life sentence with the stated minimum term.
