A woman in South African has been sentenced 10 years in Jail for snatching baby Zephany Nurse, 19 years ago.

The 51-year-old woman was sentenced to 10 years in jail after she was found guilty in March of snatching Zephany from a hospital bed while Celeste was still recovering from giving birth.

Zephany has said she wants to stay with the woman who kidnapped her, rather than her biological parents.

Zephany was found after one of the Nurse family’s other daughters started going to the same secondary school as her and noticed a striking resemblance.
