A woman has been jailed for 11 years, becoming the first person in Britain to be convicted of female genital mutilation (FGM) in a landmark case, the media reported. Speaking at the Central Criminal Court on Friday, Justice Philippa Whipple found the 37-year-old Ugandan woman guilty of cutting her three-year-old daughter, the Guardian reported.

An additional two years were added to her sentence for possessing indecent images and extreme pornography. Justice Whipple said it was not known why the woman inflicted FGM on her child, although witchcraft was a possibility.
