A woman has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of her two-year-old daughter, who died after being found in a pond.

Alice Mackey, 42, admitted killing Annabel Mackey in Kingsley, Hampshire, in September 2023.

The two-year-old went missing from her home on 10 September.

She was found a short time later unresponsive at Kingsley Pond.

Annabel was taken to hospital in a serious condition, but died the following afternoon.

Mackey entered the plea at Winchester Crown Court.

She entered a not guilty plea to a charge of murder, which the court heard was acceptable to the prosecution, as reports by two psychiatrists showed she was in a state of «diminished responsibility» at the time of the incident.

Judge Christopher Parker KC adjourned the case for sentencing on 6 October.

He remanded Mackey into custody until then.

Keir Starmer had hoped to continue his «cost of living tour» this week to address voters’ concerns in this crucial election year. However, Donald Trump’s recent Greenland threat has derailed those plans. Instead, the prime minister and his team have been engaged in discussions with European allies to formulate a response to President Trump’s bold move. The threat to impose additional tariffs on goods from several European countries has significantly escalated tensions between allies regarding Greenland, leaving many shocked and frustrated. «It’s like stepping into an alternate reality,» remarked one official. The uncertainty of whether Trump will back down has added to the anxiety surrounding the situation. Currently, efforts are being made to navigate this delicate situation through diplomatic means. The focus is on understanding the intentions of the US before hastily reacting to every social media announcement. The recent threat by Trump towards Greenland may have been triggered by a misunderstanding. The decision by European NATO members to conduct a reconnaissance mission in Greenland was misinterpreted by the White House as being directed against the US, when in fact it was aimed at Russia and China. Prime Minister Meloni of Italy suggested that there was a communication issue, and that the European initiatives were not meant to be anti-American. Allies have emphasized their commitment to Arctic security as a shared interest, with the Danish exercise Arctic Endurance being a pre-coordinated effort with Allies. The misunderstanding that may have triggered Trump’s latest Greenland threat is the belief that the US wants to work unilaterally on security in the High North, rather than through NATO with European allies. President Trump has expressed a desire to annex Greenland and use it to strengthen US security, despite reassurances from the Danes that the US could expand its security presence on the island. This unilateral approach may be seen as undermining NATO and other international institutions, as Trump also seeks to create a Board of Peace for Gaza with funding requirements for member countries.
