Live coverage from Mansfield child murder trial: Closing speeches under way as mother is accused of murdering her 19-month-old daughter
We are back at Nottingham Crown Court for the ongoing trial of Mansfield woman Katie Crowder, who is accused of murdering her daughter Gracie by scalding her to death.
It is alleged that Crowder, 26, of Wharmby Avenue, Mansfield, killed the toddler on March 6 this year, then waited before raising the alarm to ‘cover her tracks’.
She denies murder.
