A mother who was found in bed with her dead eight-year-old son after killing him by spiking his blackcurrant juice with drugs has been given an indefinite hospital order.
Court Proceedings
Louise Cameron, 41, killed her son Rhys in a supposed murder suicide attempt at their home in Billingham, Stockton-on-Tees, in September last year, Teesside Crown Court heard. She was initially charged with murder but was found to be unfit to enter a plea or stand trial earlier this month.

Hospital Order
Cameron was given the hospital order under Section 37 of the Mental Health Act. Mrs Justice Williams said "a hospital order was the most appropriate way of dealing" with the case.
