Australian mother jailed for 20 years for killing child

Sydney: An Australian woman has been jailed for 20 years for killing her six-month-old daughter in 2010, a media report said yesterday.

The woman, then in her late 30s, drowned her daughter in the bathtub in her family’s North Strathfield house after worrying for months that the girl had dwarfism, reported the Sydney Morning Herald. Forensic tests on the woman’s computer revealed internet searches for terms such as “drown” and “infanticide”.
