Mum cleared of 'squeezing her baby to death' after new expert evidence

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Laura Langley wept and hugged her family after being acquitted of murdering her own baby - almost four years to the day she died.

The 38-year-old had been accused of 'squeezing her baby to death' following the loss of her daughter Edith. The seven-week-old had stopped breathing at home on November 20, 2020.

A murder trial was opened in October 2023, but it was stopped after significant concerns were raised over expert evidence used by the prosecution.

And ahead of the first day of a new trial at Preston Crown Court today (November 18), two leading experts in pathology and bone health had said Edith's injuries were consistent with resuscitation methods used at hospital.
