Toddler who was found wandering the streets alone leads police to her dead mother after saying: 'I'm going to nursery. I can't wake mummy up'

Nicolla Rushton (pictured), 30, was found by a PCSO and his wife after they spotted three-year-old Phoebe wandering the streets alone and followed her back to her home in Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire. When he stepped out of his car to speak to Phoebe she said she was making her own way to her nursery - 350 yards from home at Little Strawberries - because she 'could not wake mummy up'. The couple followed Phoebe home, where they found Miss Rushton. The off-duty officer stayed with the girl until emergency services arrived, and Miss Rushton was pronounced dead at the scene.
