An evil dad who murdered his infant son to get revenge against his former partner for ending their relationship has been jailed for life.
Lukasz Czapla, 41, shot, stabbed and smothered two-year-old Julius at his home in Muirhouse, Edinburgh, in November 2020 to get back at the child’s mum Patrycja Szczesniak.
The high court in the city heard how Patrycja had split from Czapla in June that year but was happy to allow him look after defenceless Julius.
