Evil parents jailed for murdering 'perfect' baby son who suffered 130 separate injuries

A mother and father who murdered their "perfect" baby son on Christmas Day have been jailed for life and will serve respective minimum terms of 27 and 29 years.

Shannon Marsden and Stephen Boden inflicted 130 separate injuries on 10-month-old Finley Boden before his fatal collapse in 2020, including 71 bruises, 57 bone breaks and fractures, and burns.

Finley had fractures to his collarbones and thighs, while his pelvis had been broken in two places, possibly from sustained "kicking or stamping", with injuries likened to a multi-storey fall.
