Katie Tidmarsh, 39, was found guilty of causing catastrophic head injuries to Ruby Thompson in August 2012.
An evil foster mum has been convicted of murdering a one-year-old girl she was in the process of adopting. Katie Tidmarch was this week found guilty of killing infant Ruby Thompson more than a decade ago.
A court heard Ruby had been placed in foster care after her birth in 2011 and began living with Tidmarch, 39, and her husband in March 2012. The couple had been approved for adoption and were in the process of adopting Ruby when she died. In February 2014, the Crown Prosecution Service chose not to proceed with any charges and the two were released from bail with no further action. An inquest into Ruby's death later concluded she died from a head injury, though the cause was not established.
