Mother who murdered baby daughter jailed for at least 19 years

Nicole Blain was convicted of murdering her 19‑day‑old daughter and given a life sentence with a minimum term of 19 years; the judge rejected her claim that another child caused the injuries.
Dozens in court voiced outrage as Blain was led away, and women later released balloons in a public tribute to the baby.
An appeal has been lodged; the case has also drawn attention to issues around post‑natal depression and the involvement of social/support workers.
