A mother who confessed to murdering her three-year-old daughter by leaving her alone for a week to starve to death while she went partying has been jailed in Russia. The girl was found naked having starved to death in a cold room in a rubbish-strewn flat after eating yoghurt, chicken and sausages that her mother had left her.

Earlier Plenkina had wept in court as she said of her daughter: 'I loved her (with) all my life.
