The 28-year-old stepmother who killed 16-month-old Star Hobson has been put in a separation unit to stop fellow inmates from attacking her.
Savannah Brockhill was sentenced to 25 years in prison for murdering the young girl after she repeatedly abused and punched her.
The girl’s mother, Frankie Smith, was sentenced to 8 years behind bars for allowing the murder to occur.
Judge Mrs. Justice Lambert told the couple that their dark obsession with each other fueled a life of “neglect, cruelty, and injury” for the baby.
“Star was caught in the crossfire of your relationship,” the judge said during sentencing. “The messages sent between you are petty squabbles, fights, often triggered by alcohol which descended into arguments. Star was the victim of these pointless, self-obsessed fights.
“Star was so vulnerable, and your relationship affording the chance to mistreat her. You both behaved in a cruel and callous way to Star. You made her stand at the wall for what were just antics of a child.”
“You delayed calling emergency services by at least 11 minutes,” the judge continued.
“While we know an earlier call would not have saved Star, you were not to know that, instead making Google searches.
“You then misled the emergency services, rather than admit what you did you put on a good show, suggesting you may have caused it by doing CPR.”
Brockhill, who grinned and waved at her family in court, is now being held in the isolated wing at HMP Styal as other prisoners reportedly lined up ‘to try and shank her.’
Speaking to Mail Online, a source said: “Brockhill has been put in separation in Styal for her own protection.
“She’ll be the number one target there. Prisoners will be queuing up to try and shank her.”
According to reports, the unit where she is currently being held has constant problems with ventilation and mold in the bathrooms.
Brockhill will join the ranks of the most notorious female criminals in the UK, including Corina Smith – who was sentenced to life after she killed her husband with a boiling mixture of dugar and water – and Lauren Jeska, who was convicted of the attempted murder of Ralph Knibbs.
