A Christian family has won the right to name their 19-year-old daughter following her death after she was blocked from pursuing specialist treatment abroad.

Publicly known only as “ST” for over a year due to a court order placed on the family, she can now be named as Sudiksha Thirumalesh, from Birmingham, following a ruling at the Family Division of the High Court on Friday.
