UK couple admit killing their baby daughter

The British parents of a nine-month-old girl have admitted unlawfully killing her.

Brian Kandare (aged 29) and Precious Kandare (aged 37) of Wednesfield, West Midlands, entered guilty pleas on the day their trial was due to begin at Nottingham Crown Court.

Their daughter Rebecca Kandare died shortly after being taken to Wolverhampton’s New Cross Hospital on January 6 last year.

Brian, also known as Ngonidzashe, wore a grey jumper in the dock and sat next to Precious, who wore a mustard suit jacket.

Both spoke only to confirm their names and their guilty pleas.

The defendants had previously been charged with the murder of Rebecca, which they denied.

They accepted the charge of manslaughter at a brief hearing at court today.

Mr Justice Edis said he would sentence the pair tomorrow.
