Rachel Tunstill, 32, who was serving a life sentence for the murder of her newborn daughter Mia Kelly, was found dead at HMP Styal in Cheshire. Her death is currently being investigated by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman.
Tunstill’s case had attracted considerable media attention due to the gruesome nature of the crime and the complex legal proceedings that followed. The tragic incident dates back to 2017 when Rachel Tunstill, a

Initially convicted of murder, the case took several twists and turns as new information emerged about Tunstill’s mental state and the circumstances surrounding the crime.
