mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/chilling-five-word-answer-father-32418313
Quick Glance: Verdicts in Leicester Baby Murder Case
- Michael Davis was convicted today for the murder of his son, after physically abusing his one-month-old child and causing 40 bone fractures, including a broken neck that led to the infant's death.
- Paramedics were called to a residence in Upper Temple Walk, Beaumont Leys, Leicester, in October 2017, where Davis discovered the baby unconscious in the crib next to his bed. Experts identified severe injuries during the autopsy, such as brain damage and body wounds that indicated prolonged abuse rather than a single incident.
- Kayleigh Driver, 29, the baby's mother, was also charged with murder. Today, the jury at Leicester Crown Court acquitted her of murder but found her guilty of causing or allowing the death of a child and causing serious physical harm to a child.
- Throughout the trial, several medical experts provided testimonies. Professor David Mangham revealed that the neck injury to Ollie occurred at least four days before the baby's death, resulting in continuous bleeding. The post-mortem examination determined the broken neck as the fatal injury.

- During Holy Week, certain believers whip themselves with bamboo lashes, viewing it as a form of penance to cleanse their sins, heal illnesses, and receive blessings. The Catholic Church opposes such practices, asserting that prayers and genuine repentance suffice to observe Lent.
