A mother has admitted to killing her two-year-old daughter, who died after being found in a pond.
Alice Mackey, 42, of Oakhanger, Hampshire, has pleaded guilty at Winchester Crown Court to the manslaughter of Annabel Mackey who died after being found in a pond in Kingsley, Hampshire.
Annabel went missing from her home in Forge Road, in the neighbouring village of Bordon on September 10, 2023.
The youngster was found a short time later at Kingsley Pond and was taken to hospital in a serious condition but died the following afternoon.
The defendant entered a not guilty plea to a charge of murder which the court heard was acceptable to the prosecution as reports by two psychiatrists showed that she was in a state of 'diminished responsibility' at the time of the incident.
