Father admits killing baby

A FATHER who killed his three-month-old daughter when she would not stop crying has been jailed for six-and-a-half years.

Traherne Williams shook Sophia Williams and threw her on to a couch while she was crying on May 30, 2016, police said.

The infant suffered serious brain injuries in the incident in Broxburn, West Lothian.

Paramedics attended and she was taken to St John’s Hospital where she died days later on June 5.

Williams, 23, pled guilty to culpable homicide at the High Court in Glasgow on May 4.

He was sentenced to six years and six months at the same court yesterday, Police Scotland said.
