A dad who bashed his baby’s head leaving him with brain injuries after he was fed up with his crying, has been found guilty of murder.
He said he got into the tub with his son on the evening of November 30, 2018, while his partner Becky Higginbottom was downstairs.However, Robert Smith KC, prosecuting, told Sheffield Crown Court that Mathias had murdered his son, possibly after he had lost his temper with the baby’s bawling. Mr Smith went on to claim that experts believe these injuries were closely associated with the shaking of a child, the twisting of limbs or swinging a child by the legs.
Mrs Justice Lambert, remanded Mathias, from Barnsley, South Yorks., in custody until Thursday , when he will be sentenced following the 10-2 majority verdict.‘A custodial sentence is inevitable, as I’m sure you know. For that reason, you are remanded into custody. You will be produced for the sentencing.’
