Mother murdered her baby
A VIOLENT mother who took photos of herself and her 11month- old son after beatings which ended in his horrific death has been jailed for life.
Emma Wilson, 25, left Callum with a detached retina, an ‘unsurvivable brain injury’ and 11 broken bones after battering him so violently the ceiling shook in the flat below.
She tried to blame the injuries on Callum’s ‘boisterous’ two-year- old brother who she said was jealous of his sibling.
Sentencing her to life with a minimum of 14 years, Judge Stephen Kramer QC said she had showed ‘no emotion’ throughout the five-week trial at the Old Bailey.
The court heard Callum suffered a catalogue of abuse in the weeks before his death, during which Wilson took ‘before’ and ‘after’ photographs of herself with him.
The abuse culminated in a violent attack in March 2011 when neighbours heard five or six loud bangs.
Judge Kramer said: ‘They caused the ceiling and light fitting to shake and the neighbours said they thought “the kid was going to come through the floor”.’
Callum was taken to hospital but died three days later.
Psychiatric reports stated Wilson, of Berkshire, south- east England, has no mental disorder or illness. She denied murder but was convicted last year.
