A couple have been jailed for a combined total of 56 years for killing a 10-month-old baby boy. A jury found Stephen Boden and partner Shannon Marsden guilty of the "savage and brutal murder" of Finley Boden.
It follows a trial which lasted a number of months at Derby Crown Court, according to Derbyshire Live. The murder took place at the couple’s home in Holland Road, Old Whittington, Derbyshire.

He suffered 130 separate “appalling” injuries, including 71 bruises and cuts, 57 bone fractures and two burns in the three weeks prior to his death, some of which were up to two weeks old.
