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
Sabrina Hirst, 22, was jailed for 12 years for manslaughter. Robert Hirst, 44, got five years for child cruelty. The death penalty would have been more appropriate, if it still existed in the UK, that is.

A father and son have been convicted of killing a 21-year-old man in a McDonald’s restaurant.
Richard Moore died after suffering a blow to the neck in the restaurant in Hay Hill, Norwich, on 21 March.
Gerard Stonehouse, 48, and his son Jonathan Stonehouse, 18, had both denied manslaughter during a trial at Norwich Crown Court.
The pair, of Woodcock Road, Norwich, were convicted by jurors following three hours of deliberations.
They have both been remanded in custody and will be sentenced at a date to be fixed later this month.
A rope around the neck would be appropriate.
