Frances Inglis, who murdered her brain-damaged son Thomas, has lost her appeal against her conviction and life sentence. Mrs Inglis killed her son because she was convinced that he was better off dead. Lord Judge, presiding, said that "a disabled life, even a life lived at the extremes of disability, is not one jot less precious than the life of an able-bodied person".
