BREAKING NEWS: KERAN HENDERSON CASE; (18); SHE HAS BEEN FREED FROM PRISON PENDING HER APPEAL: SLOUGH AND LANGLEY OBSERVER REPORTS;



The Slough and Langley Observer reported earlier today that Keran Henderson has been released from custody pending her up-coming appeal;

"KERAN Henderson, the childminder who was convicted of manslaughter has been released from prison and is now back with her family in Iver Heath," the story begins.

"Mrs Henderson was jailed for three years in November 2007 after being convicted of the manslaughter of 11-month old Slough child Maeve Sheppard," the story continues.

"She was released on Wednesday last week after serving half her sentence.

An appeal on her case is due to be heard in December and until then she is unable to speak publicly about her imprisonment.

Her husband Iain Henderson said: “I would just like to say on behalf of Keran’s friends and family we are pleased to finally have her back at home with her sons. It is sad that we could not get her name cleared before now but we will wait until December for the next stage of the appeal and will work towards clearing her name.

“We will never forget that through our ordeal that we are not alone in suffering because of course all this started with the tragic loss of little Maeve, a tragedy that eclipses a wrongful conviction.”"
