Tiffany Moss was found guilty of all counts, including murder, cruelty to children and trying to conceal the death of Emani by burning her body. At her sentencing hearing, after several hours of deliberations, the jury of six men and six women agreed to the death sentence by lethal injection. Her death sentence was the first handed down in Georgia in more than five years and the judge polled the jurors individually to establish that their decision was unanimous. Moss showed no reaction as her death sentence was declared, but Emani’s grieving family, who were present in court, were emotional. After the trial, Emani’s grandmother Robin Moss said that she didn’t support the death penalty, but explained, ‘I was happy when she got sentenced for all six counts, that made…

After Daniel Myers’ arrest, 10 women came forward claiming he’d raped them. And Loriann Haley is convinced Myers shot her sister, Leigh Ann Sluder, in 2009. Leigh Ann, Myers’ ex girlfriend, was found dead with a gunshot wound to her chest, a long-barrelled rifle lying next to her in bed. Authorities ruled her death a suicide, which has been upheld.

Jenna Wingrave, 39, Braintree Pushing my son Dylan into the world in October 2003, I heard my mum Jill gasp. ‘He’s a whopper!’ she cried as the midwife wrapped him in a towel. Weighing 9lb 9oz, he certainly was a big baby. At just 5ft 3in, my stomach had been like a beach ball when I was pregnant. And now, the skin on my belly hung down like an empty kangaroo pouch. An ugly, draping W shape hanging from my waist. ‘This will go, won’t it?’ I said to Mum, then 50. ‘Course,’ she smiled. Only, I soon noticed other women at baby groups didn’t have the same problem. Within months, they were wearing slim-fit jeans, while I was still tucking excess skin into my pants. I started to hate…

Could it be cancer? Q I found a lump on my testicle... My doctor thinks it’s a cyst and I’m waiting for a scan. But could it be serious? Tony, Darlington A You’re right to check any testicle lump, but if the scan confirms your doctor’s suspicion, it’s likely to be harmless. Fluid-filled cysts are common on your epididymis, the sperm-collecting tube which lies on the top part of each testicle. The cysts can be any size, from barely there to several centimetres across, and you may have several. They feel smooth and round and separate from the testicle itself. A hard, irregular lump that’s fixed to your testicle is more worrying as it could be cancerous. Cysts don’t usually cause any symptoms or need any treatment and can be…

To my amazing boys, When I met your dad Al, then 29, in 2002, I knew he was The One. Yet he had to share me with my other love... As a financial trader in London, my life revolved around work. ‘I’m sorry,’ I sighed, answering yet another work call during dinner one night. He got used to it. When you, Jude, arrived in 2012, I took maternity leave, but was soon back to the grind. It felt impossible to juggle my long hours and childcare. So we got a nanny, and after you, Flynn, were born in 2014, I went back to work again. Your nanny was witnessing precious moments that I should’ve been part of. Trips to the park, swimming, school runs, story time. We’d have an hour…

Vicki Glister, 32, Salisbury Perching on the ladder, I brushed pink paint along the wall. ‘Perfect colour,’ I beamed. It was October 2016, and I was eight months pregnant. Excited for the arrival of my little girl, I was putting the finishing touches to her nursery. Only, with my fiancé Liam, then 24, away in the Army, I had to decorate on my own. After three years together, I was used to Liam working long stints abroad. But sometimes, with two children from a previous relationship, Paige, then eight, and Jenson, five, I struggled. It got lonely. Now, Liam was based in Northern Ireland, and wasn’t due home until our girl was born. What do you think? I texted, alongside a photo of the painted wall. But he never replied straight…

She was a sweet girl with a bright smile who loved wearing pink and enjoyed school. Emani Moss’ teacher described her as a ‘precious’ child and a ‘wonderful friend’ to all. Lisa Neil, who taught Emani from 2012 to 2013, even considered the conscientious 10-year-old a ‘blessing’ because she was never rude or naughty. But when she noticed Emani struggling to do homework and suggested talking to her parents, the girl seemed distraught. Scared even. The truth was Emani’s smile hid inner sadness. When she’d been tiny, her mother, battling addiction, lost custody and Emani had gone to live with her dad Eman Moss. He was no angel. Had been convicted of beating Emani’s mum. But now he was with nursery teacher Tiffany Moss. The couple had met at church,…

Evita Bolmane, 29, Liverpool As I was ushered into a small room, my heart was pounding. ‘We’ll find your husband,’ the nurse smiled to me. ‘OK,’ I nodded, mind whirring. Something was wrong… It was April 2020, and due to COVID-19 restrictions, my husband Ziggy, 29, had had to stay in the car while I’d had our baby’s 24-week scan. Now he joined me. ‘There’s a problem with your baby’s heart,’ the doctor told us. She had a condition called hypoplastic left heart syndrome – only half of her heart was working. My body went cold. We already had two healthy boys – Oscar, then 6, and Raivis, then 8. ‘If she survives birth, chances are she won’t make it very long after that,’ the doctor added. We were sent…

Walk away from my kids? Q I no longer want to be a mum or wife – there, I said it. I’m unhappy in my marriage, but don’t want to be alone with my kids. They’re 5, 7 and 9 and almost feral because I have no interest. My husband spends time with them, but he works away a lot. Shall I leave and let him deal with them, or do I leave him and hope my relationship with the kids improves? I’m scared he’ll want to share custody when I don’t want to. Please help me. Serena, 36 A I commend your honesty, petal. As parents, we love our kids, but it doesn’t mean we always like them. It can be scary having children, not to mention emotionally exhausting.…

Lying in the hospital bed with my mum by my side, I wanted to burst into tears. ‘I’m afraid we found lots of tumours,’ a doctor said. It was April 2006 and I was only 14. A few months earlier, I’d felt a deep, dull ache in my stomach. Doctors had assumed it was a virus at first. When the pain got worse, they suspected a cyst, agreed to operate to remove it. Only, now I was being told that when they’d opened me up, they’d found something more sinister. My uterus was riddled with cancerous tumours. They’d taken out one of my ovaries there and then. Two weeks later, a diagnosis confirmed it. Ovarian cancer. I felt sick as the doctors said those words. Two of my grandparents died…

When 28-year-old Heather Bogle took a job at a Whirlpool washing-machine factory in Sandusky, Ohio, USA, she hoped it’d be temporary.
