A severely disabled baby boy at the centre of a right to life battle which tore his parents apart is to be allowed to die in peace.

The decision to switch off baby RB's life support "in his best interests" was sanctioned by a High Court judge after the boy's father withdrew his objections.

The one-year-old boy's estranged parents said in a joint statement that the father's decision to drop his case had been "an agonisingly difficult decision".
