Baby girl in hospital for 18 months, then died, after ex-soldier's assault

A soldier who was wounded in a rogue attack in Afghanistan is to be sentenced today after admitting to killing his 19-month-old daughter.

Lance Corporal Liam Culverhouse, 25, lost his right eye when he came under fire at an Afghan National Police checkpoint in Nad-e-Ali, Helmand province, in November 2009, which killed five of his comrades.
