A profound tragedy has unfolded in Westminster, where a ten-week-old baby girl lost her life in the most heartbreaking circumstances. Her parents have been revealed as the cause of her death after the infant sustained catastrophic injuries consistent with being violently shaken.
The case, heard at the Old Bailey, detailed the short life of the baby girl who was found with a severe brain bleed, retinal haemorrhages, and fractures to her ribs and limbs. These injuries, medical experts confirmed, were the result of non-accidental trauma.
Despite the desperate efforts of medical teams at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, the infant's injuries were too severe. She was tragically pronounced dead, leaving a void no family should ever have to face.
The court heard how the parents' accounts of what happened were inconsistent with the devastating injuries found on their daughter. This case serves as a grim reminder of the fragility of infant life and the catastrophic consequences of such actions.
The community of Westminster and the wider UK public are left grappling with this senseless loss of a life that had only just begun.
