I loved Emily 'more than life itself', says GP accused of killing daughter

A mother on trial, charged with the manslaughter of her profoundly disabled daughter by giving her too much sedative, has said she loved the child "more than life itself" and denied writing a suicide note before her death.

Bernadette Scully said she wrote the note after the child had passed away. She was giving evidence in her defence today on the seventh day of her trial.
