Katie Tidmarsh was convicted on Thursday 9 November for killing Ruby Thompson in August 2012, following a trial at Leicester Crown Court.
A woman has been convicted of murdering a one-year-old girl she was trying to adopt after more than a decade of lies.
A 999 call was made from the house on the morning of 11 August 2012, saying that Ruby had suffered a seizure and wasn't breathing.An X-ray found that Ruby had a broken arm - the child had been taken to hospital two weeks earlier, where Tidmarsh claimed she had been knocked over by a dog.A post-mortem found that Ruby had a "blunt force impact to the back of the head", and another examination of the broken arm found two more fractures to the same area.
Years later in 2017, a court hearing rule that Tidmarsh had caused the injuries that led to the little girl's death. The 39-year-old was also charged with two counts of causing grievous bodily harm for the injuries to Ruby's arm - she was found guilty of one charge, but not the other. "Tidmarsh has evaded justice since 2012 and will now be facing a lengthy sentence for her actions in taking the life of a young child, a child who was placed in her care to give her what was believed to be a better life.
