Woman jailed for manslaughter of stepdaughter, 5, after placing her in scalding hot bath nearly 50 years ago
المصدر: GB News | Source: GB NewsA woman has been jailed for 12 years for the manslaughter of her stepdaughter after placing the child in a scalding hot bath as punishment some 50 years ago.
Janice Nix, 67, was sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court today, 48 years since five-year-old Andrea Bernard died in Thornton Heath, south London, in 1978.
Andrea’s death was initially treated as an accident, until her older brother Desmond Bernard went to police in 2022 with a new account of what happened, the trial revealed.
Beyond the manslaughter charge, Nix was also convicted of cruelty to Mr Bernard between October 1975 and June 1978, when he was seven to nine-years-old.
