A US woman who slashed a young mother's throat and kidnapped her newborn baby, setting off a frantic search that drew national attention, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison.

The woman Shannon Torrez attacked two years ago in Missouri testified at her sentencing hearing.

Stephenie Ochsenbine said she remembered being covered in blood and pleading with Torrez while her one-year-old son, who also was covered in his mother's blood, watched the attack.
