Liam Fee memorial bench installed in Fife
It has been installed in the Thornton Memorial Park.
A memorial bench paying tribute to tragic Fife toddler Liam Fee has been installed in a park in Fife.
Two-year-old Liam Fee was found dead at his home near Glenrothes in Fife on March 22 2014, having suffered a ruptured heart as a result of severe blunt force trauma to his body.
His mother, Rachel Trelfa or Fee, 31, and partner Nyomi Fee, 29, had denied killing the child but were convicted of his murder following a seven-week trial at the High Court in Livingston in June.
The women, originally of Ryton, Tyne and Wear, were also found guilty of a catalogue of abuse against two other young boys, including one they falsely blamed for Liam's death.
They were convicted of ill-treating and neglecting him from January 2012 onwards by leaving him for prolonged periods of time, failing to provide him with adequate exercise and mental stimulation and - in the days leading up to his death - failing to get him proper medical attention for a broken leg and a fractured arm.
The jury also convicted them of four charges detailing a string of abuses against two other boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
These included forcing the youngsters to take cold showers when they wet the bed, imprisoning one in a home-made cage and tying another naked to a chair in a dark room where snakes and rats were kept.
The women were further found guilty of attempting to defeat the ends of justice after Liam died by, among other things, trying to pin the blame for the death on one of the young boys.
A fundraising campaign for a memorial bench for the toddler raised over £800.
It has now been installed in the Thornton Memorial Park in Thornton, near the children's play area.
