Father who killed daughter by driving into river gets life

A FATHER who drove his two “defenceless” young children into a freezing river, killing his five-year-old daughter, was last night beginning a life sentence in jail.

Christopher Grady was imprisoned for life with a minimum term of 15 years for the murder of his daughter Gabrielle Grady, which he had denied.

Mr Justice Lindblom, sentencing at Birmingham Crown Court, also gave the 43-year-old a 10-year jail sentence for the attempted murder of his son, Ryan.
