Mother jailed for killing daughter

A young mother who made a “sham” 999 call several hours after murdering her two-yearold daughter has been ordered to serve at least 16 years in jail.

Cody-anne Jackson suffocated Macey Hogan in a “wicked and appalling” act after sending a photo to the child’s father with a message reading: “Savour the last ever picture… Possibly see you in court.”

The trial at Stafford Crown Court was told Jackson, from Stoke-on-trent, also wrote a suicide note before the killing, stating: “There’s nothing for me or Macey, life’s shit.”
