This is the disgusting, cramped flat where a three-year-old child, Kemarni Watson Darby, was brutally murdered in June 2018.
The toddler had been repeatedly assaulted by his mother’s then boyfriend Nathaniel Pope before he died of excruciating internal injuries. A court heard his injuries would have required force similar to that caused by a car crash or being stamped on with a ‘shod foot’.
Police have now released images showing the chaotic living conditions the young endured in the filthy two-bedroom flat in West Bromwich. They include snapped electrical wires being used to lock Kemarni in a room as he banged on the door and begged to be let out.
