Story here. Excerpt:
'A mother who murdered her two daughters as they slept has been jailed for life and must serve a minimum of 33 years.
Rekha Kumari-Baker, 41, stabbed 16-year-old Davina 37 times and 13-year-old Jasmine 29 times at their home in Stretham, Cambridgeshire.
Her ex-husband said the killings were "an act of calculated viciousness".
The 33-year minimum sentence handed down at Cambridge Crown Court is one of the longest jail terms given to a woman in the UK in modern times.'

Play The Andrea Yates Card
Her defense team should play the Andrea Yates Card there in Britain.
Andrea Yates was initially sentenced to a minimum of 40 years in prison for killing 5 children but feminist political pressure got her a new trial and she was found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity.
