A mum and dad have been found guilty of murdering their baby son on Christmas Day, during lockdown, after they left him with over 130 injuries as they burned and beat the innocent child.
The judge, Mrs Justice Tipples, choked back tears as she thanked the jury for its “extremely impressive” conduct through proceedings, after Shannon Marsden, 22, and Stephen Boden, 30, were convicted at Derby Crown Court of the murder of 10-month-old Finley Boden.
She excused the jury from ever having to serve again as she thanked them for their "dedication, commitment and patience in carrying out this extremely important public service”.
