A Ghanaian nurse who force-fed her 10 month old baby girl leading to her death in March last year has been jailed.
Gloria Dwomoh, 31, was sent to prison for three years after being convicted of allowing or causing the death of her baby.
She is said to have died from pneumonia caused by food in her lungs that had blocked her airways.
During the trial, the prosecution said the food went down the "wrong way" for months and the spout of the jug was placed into the girl's mouth to "prevent her closing it".
But her mother told the court she and her siblings had been fed the same way by her mother in Ghana.
