Michael Davis was convicted of murdering his son, Ollie, who suffered 40 bone fractures including a broken neck, resulting in death. Davis, offering no explanation for the injuries, was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 22 years.
The fatal injury, occurring up to eight days before Ollie's death, compressed his spinal cord, causing him to stop breathing. The judge noted five different mechanisms were required for the array of injuries inflicted by Davis.
The judge mentioned Davis' frustration and anger leading to multiple brutal assaults on his son. Davis showed callous indifference to Ollie's suffering by not seeking medical help despite the severe injuries.
