Baby suffocated in shed after being left on cardboard box at 'overcrowded' home

A two-month-old baby died in a garden shed after his carrycot tipped off a cardboard box head first, causing him to suffocate, a court heard.

The child tragically died in June 2020 after being put in the outdoor building by his mother and father, as the home was "overcrowded", which was causing issues between the couple.

Family court judge Steven Parker said at Liverpool Family Court that the parents put the baby in the shed after complaining about a lack of "sleep and intimacy" in their home, the Daily Post reports.
