A nurse whose 10-week-old baby died after she left him home alone while she went to work has been jailed. Ruth Auta left her son Joshua Akerele unattended while she did an eight-hour shift at Royal Bolton Hospital.

But when she returned home he wasn't breathing. The 28-year-old called paramedics, but despite efforts to resuscitate Joshua, tragically he was pronounced dead at the scene.

When police were called Auta initially lied and told them she had collected Joshua from his childminder's after her shift.
