A jury has retired to consider its verdict following a trial into the death of a toddler.

Chelsea Gleason-Mitchell and former partner Scott Jeff, both 24, from Bedfordshire, deny the murder of her daughter Isabella Wheildon.

The two-year-old's body was found in a pram in a property in Sidegate Lane, Ipswich, on 30 June last year, but it was believed she died days before.

A trial has been ongoing at Ipswich Crown Court for the past seven-weeks.
