## Resource

Stepmother on Trial for Decades-Old Crime: Janice Nix, accused of punishing five-year-old Andrea Bernard with a scalding hot bath, leading to her death in 1978, is now on trial at the Old Bailey. Nix, who was only nineteen at the time, has pleaded not guilty. The prosecution alleges Nix was abusive towards both Andrea and her brother, with Andreas death occurring during a punishment attempt. The case remained unsolved for over forty years until Andreas brother came forward in 2022. Nix broke down in tears during testimony, admitting to lying about the incident and feeling guilty for not supervising Andrea properly.
