Murdered baby 'should have been most protected' review says
Quick Glance: Failures in Safeguarding Review of 10-Month-Old's Death
  • A review of the murder of a baby by his parents revealed that Finley Boden 'should have been one of the most protected' children in the area.

  • Ten-month-old Finley died after sustained abuse, with multiple fractures, burns, and injuries that could only have been inflicted by two people working together.

  • He passed away on Christmas Day during the winter 2020 Covid lockdown - just 39 days after being returned to his parents' care by social services.

  • A report published by the Derby and Derbyshire Safeguarding Children Partnership today found that the safeguarding of Finley was inadequate.

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.
