Danny Shepherd, the Sheppey Paedophile Child Killer, exhibited rage towards infant Eli Cox, while Katherine Cox, 33, aware of the danger her son faced, failed to intervene at their residence in Minster.
A mother of nine from Sheppey, Katherine Cox, and her partner, Danny Shepherd, were incarcerated following the violent shaking of her five-month-old baby, who succumbed to a ‘catastrophic’ brain injury in April 2016.
Numerous bone fractures of differing ages were inflicted against young Eli’s diminutive physique throughout his brief existence.
A total of 28 injuries to 19 of his bones were identified posthumously in the hospital in April of last year.
A court determined that the individual was aged between 10 days and nine weeks when Danny Shepherd carried out the systematic abuse with the help of Katherine Cox, and a pathologist stated that the injuries resulted from being ‘twisted, dragged, crushed, and bent.’
Danny Shepherd, 26, was sentenced to 13-and-a-half years, while Katherine Cox, 33, received an eight-year term in November 2017.
