Convicted baby killer Woodward plans to wed

WHAT does a convicted child killer do with her life? Louise Woodward teaches salsa, tango and ballroom dance classes four nights a week in a parish hall. She has completed a law degree and is now planning to walk up the aisle.

It is a remarkable turnaround for Woodward.

The British au pair was convicted, aged 19, of the involuntary manslaughter of eight-month-old Matthew Eappen, in his home in Newton, Massachusetts. Matthew died on February 9, 1997, from a fractured skull, five days after being admitted to hospital and falling into a coma. The child was said by doctors to have died of shaken baby syndrome.
