Three-year old Tiffany Wright was neglected and left in what prosecutors called “filth and squalor” by her mother and stepfather in the Sheffield pub they ran. She died of bronchial pneumonia directly attributable to chronic malnutrition.
Sheffield Crown Court heard Tiffany’s decomposing body was found in an insect-infested room in the Scarbrough Arms pub in Upperthorpe, Sheffield, in September 2007

Four teenagers who kicked and stamped to death a cyclist in Bedfordshire have been jailed for life.
Stephen Green, 55, from Luton, was attacked in an underpass in Dunstable by a gang as he cycled home last May, and died in hospital nine days later.
They had been drinking strong beer and brandy and smoking pot before setting upon Mr Green.
Such a shame that the UK doesn’t have the death penalty.
