Lesbian lovers who had battered eight-year-old Ayesha Ali to death, have prison sentences reduced.

The child, Choudhury's daughter, was found covered in more than 40 injuries including a bite mark and carpet burns.

Kiki Muddar, 44, and Polly Chowdhury, 36, who were jailed for 18 and 13 years respectively for manslaughter following the discovery of Ayesha Ali’s body at their home in Chadwell Heath in August 2013.

At the Court of Appeal, Muddar’s sentence was reduced to 15 years after appeal judges agreed the punishment was "manifestly excessive". Polly Chowdhury had her jail term cut to 10 years.
