A teenager who smothered her mother to death was jailed for four years and eight months.

Rebecca Durkin, 19, from Southport, was cleared of murder after a jury agreed that she had lost control after being driven to the edge.

But the teenager had already admitted killing Clancy Durkin to death at their home after a row.

Durkin told Liverpool Crown Court during her trial that her single mum, who was a hospital cleaner, was an alcoholic who became violent when drunk.
