A mum has admitted murdering her baby daughter before fleeing to Uganda. The body of 20-month-old Sarah Dahane was found at Angela Whitworth's home in Bicester, Oxfordshire, on 16 May 2013.

She was arrested on 9th of March this year in a joint operation between Thames Valley Police and the Ugandan authorities.

Two weeks before she was detained, Thames Valley Police had offered a £10,000 reward to try and track her down.

Appearing at the Old Bailey from Bronzefield prison, Whitworth, wearing a lime green T-shirt with a black pattern pleaded guilty to murdering her daughter on 15 May 2013.

Mr Justice Saunders said she will be sentenced on October 4th when she faces a life sentence.
