A mum and her partner have been jailed for murdering nine-year-old Alfie Steele after a horrific campaign of violence against him, which included being held down in freezing cold baths.
Carla Scott and fiancé Dirk Howell were found guilty of killing little Alfie earlier this week and were sentenced at Coventry Crown Court today.
Career criminal Howell was caged for a minimum term of 32 years for murder and Scott was handed sentences totalling 27 years for child cruelty and manslaughter.
