A mother and her boyfriend have been convicted over the death of a 10-month-old baby found dead in his cot with dozens of injuries
Jacob Crouch was the victim of a ‘culture of cruelty’ at the hands of his mother and stepfather and was found dead in his cot after a ‘vicious assault’
His stepfather Craig Couch, 39, was today convicted of murder and three counts of child cruelty following a 7-week trial at Derby Crown Court. The jury deliberated for four days. Dr Sarah Dixon, a consultant paediatrician told the court the 10-month-year-old suffered “repeated physical abuse” in the weeks, days, and hours before his death.
She claimed her son was a “bundle of joy” and said it felt like her “whole world had just ended” when she was awoken by Crouch screaming that Jacob was dead.
