Evil dad ADMITS killing baby daughter as mum turned blind eye to horrific campaign of abuse
A DAD has admitted killing his baby daughter while her mum turned a blind eye to his horrific campaign of abuse.
Miyah Warnock was rushed to hospital following "medical concerns" at the family home in Devizes, Wiltshire, in September 2021.
Tragically, the three-month-old couldn't be saved and was declared dead a month later.
Her dad Samuel Warnock, 29, today pleaded guilty to manslaughter at Winchester Crown Court.
He had been due to go on trial for murder but prosecutors accepted his plea.
Miyah's mum Jasmine Warnock, also 29, admitted child cruelty by failing to protect her baby daughter.

She was recorded on a 999 call saying the child "could not breathe properly, her eyes were rolling backwards and she was going limp."
Sallie Bennett-Jenkins KC, representing the mum, said she entered her guilty plea on the basis she did not witness any assault on Miyah.
The lawyer said: "Jasmine Warnock did not foresee the risk of death or any serious injury to Miyah from the actions of Sam Warnock.
"Jasmine Warnock at no time inflicted injury on Miyah and was not present when injury was inflicted.
"Jasmine Warnock was not present on 20th September when injuries leading to death were inflicted."
The court was told she had asked her husband about bruising on Miyah, which Samuel Warnock blamed on a "loss of sensitivity in his hands".
He also claimed he had fallen down the stairs while carrying Miyah after his "knee had given way".
The pair will be sentenced on March 18.
