Mother & Ex-boyfriend jailed for 10 years after baby son died from 'horrific' head injury.

A mother and her ex-boyfriend have been today jailed for 10 years over the 'brutal' death of her 24-day-old baby who suffered a fractured skull and brain haemorrhage.

Roxanne Davis, 30, and her 24-year-old former boyfriend Samuel Davis were each jailed for ten years for causing the death of her son Stanley Davis.

Stanley died in hospital on March 28, 2017 after suffering 'horrific injuries'.

He had also been admitted to Portsmouth's Queen Alexandra Hospital for 32 rib fractures and nine more to his arms and legs on three other occasions.

Davis and Davies, who both smoked cannabis and took cocaine, tried to cover up his injuries, which could have been caused by shaking him or throwing across the room.

Sentencing the pair, the judge said that the baby 'was in pain for much of his short life' and suffered a 'brutal' attack in which he was violently shaken.

The judge said Davis was more upset about herself than her son, who she 'treated as little more than a fashion accessory.'
