Desperate and thirsty, a seven-year-old girl is captured on CCTV cameras asking a shopkeeper for something to drink just hours before she was found dead.
The footage shows Shanay Walker running barefoot into a corner shop the night before her frail bruised body was discovered at the home of her aunt and grandmother.
The child was subjected to months of violent punishment by her 'strict' churchgoing aunt and suffered a 'sustained, vicious and brutal beating' before she died, a jury heard.
Her aunt, Kay-Ann Morris, 24, and grandmother Juanila Smikle, 54, were today sentenced to eight years and four years in jail, respectively, after being found guilty of cruelty.
