Mother cleared of murdering her two babies

A MOTHER who claimed she was wrongly convicted of killing her two babies was freed after seven years in jail by the Court of Appeal in London yesterday.

Dressed in a black trouser suit and white, open-necked shirt, 31-year-old Donna Anthony, who was jailed for life in 1998, was released from the cells at London’s Royal Courts of Justice following her successful appeal against conviction.

Ms Anthony, who had been held at Bronzefield Jail in Ashford, west London, stood stony-faced by her solicitor, George Hawks, as he read a statement on her behalf from the steps outside.
