Kent top's QC has helped put a killer mum behind bars.

Oliver Saxby, who lives near Ashford, led the prosecution against Louise Porton, 23, at Birmingham Crown Court.

Mr Saxby - who appears regularly at serious cases at Canterbury and Maidstone Crown Courts - secured a guilty verdict against the part-time model.

Porton killed her two children, Lexi Draper, three, and 17-month-old Scarlett Vaughan in Rugby in 2018.

Mr Saxby told the court how Porton's daughters "got in the way" of her sex life.

She suffocated Lexi on January 15 last year and was then heard laughing at a funeral parlour two days before killing Scarlett on February 1.

Porton will be sentenced on Friday.
