A Leicester man has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 22 years for murdering his 5 week old son.
Ollie Davis was pronounced dead after being found lifeless in his bedroom in 2017, having sustained fractures to his skull, collar bone, both arms and the joints of all his limbs.
His ultimate cause of death, the delayed affects of a broken neck.
Last month, 29 year old Michael Davis was found guilty of murder and two counts of causing grievous bodily harm and was remanded in custody.
Jurors cleared Ollie's mother, Kayleigh Driver, of murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent, but found her guilty of charges of causing or allowing the death of a child and causing or allowing serious physical injury.
She's been sentenced to 7 years in prison.
The wider family of Ollie Davis have paid tribute to him in a statement shared by Leicestershire Police.
They said: “Ollie, you came into our world on 21 September 2017. You melted our hearts with those big blue eyes. Our little ray of sunshine. We have been left with such a void in our hearts.
"Ollie, life has never been the same. You will always be with us our sweet boy. Until we meet again our little one. Catch all the love and kisses we send up to you. Your loving broken-hearted family.”
