A MOTHER who claims she was wrongly convicted of killing her two children is expected to be cleared and freed from prison by Britain’s Court of Appeal.

A MOTHER in the UK cleared of killing her babies has launched an attack on the professor whose controversial expert medical witness helped jail her for murder.

The acquittal of UK mother Trupti Patel, who had been charged with murdering her three babies, will inevitably lead to tough questions, both for Thames Valley Police and the Crown Prosecution Service, about the decision to bring the case to court.

THE deaths of a mother’s three babies were probably caused by an adult suffocating them or restricting their breathing, a leading paediatrician told a court yesterday.
