The mother of a three-year-old girl has become the first person in the UK to be found guilty of female genital mutilation (FGM).
The 37-year-old woman from Uganda was convicted following a trial at the Old Bailey.
Her 34-year-old partner was acquitted by the jury.
Spells and curses intended to deter police and social workers from investigating were found at the woman's home, the trial heard.
