A mum and her partner have been found guilty of killing her young son after a horrific campaign of violence which included being held down in freezing cold baths.
Alfie Steele, nine, was repeatedly beaten with weapons as a punishment at his home in February 2021, prior to his tragic death.
Carla Scott and her fiancé Dirk Howell subjected Alfie to the assaults and would often force him into cold baths as part of a cruel and "sinister" means of discipline.
