"Scott O'Connor, 36, was found guilty of manslaughter and also handed an extended licence period of five years. The boy's mother, Zoe Coutts, 35, was sentenced to 10 years. Southwark Crown Court heard that Kol Page, 4, died in June 2024, having suffered escalating violence while in the couple's care in Bromley, south-east London, in April 2022."
"Prosecutors described the injuries as "catastrophic", comparable to those sustained in a serious road traffic collision or a fall from height on to a hard surface. Although both defendants were cleared of murder, the jury convicted Coutts of causing or allowing the death of a child, and found O'Connor guilty of manslaughter."
