Buzzin Disgrace

Joanne Hill has been given a life sentence for the murder of her four-year-old disabled daughter Naomi, at Chester Crown Court.

Hill, 32-years-old, drowned her daughter in the family bath and then denied murder on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

This evil mother claimed she could not cope with the mild cerebral palsy her little girl suffered from and the fact that she was embarrassed that the child had to wear calipers to allow her to walk.

The judge in this case Elgan Edwards, told Hill that there was no excuse for what she had done, and added,

“You killed your own daughter because you could not cope with her disability.  You had other pressures upon you, a disintegrating marriage and you decided to kill your own daughter by drowning her.”

Hill, who has a history of mental health problems, took Naomi home after collecting her from a childminder on the 26th November last year.  She ran a bath and added bubble bath before going downstairs for a glass of wine.  When the bath was full she told her daughter she was having a bath before putting Naomi in it and holding her head under the water for up to ten-minutes.

She then dressed the child and put her in the car along with a bottle of wine before her husband returned home from work.  She then drove around for about eight hours, ending up at the Countess of Chester Hospital holding her dead daughter and crying for help.

It is still unclear exactly what Hill did in those eight hours but she was seen at a petrol station while her dead daughter was in the car, smiling and joking with staff, all captured on CCTV.

Mr Hill, had previously refused to consider his wife’s request to have their daughter adopted or fostered by their childminder, but was in court to hear the verdict surrounded by his family.

I hope she rots in hell, that little girl didn’t deserve her life taken away by her evil mother and as for the diminished responsibility plea, it’s wrong, she knew what she was doing.

Rest in Peace Naomi x
