Evil stepmother who filmed toddler as he lay dying found guilty of manslaughter

An evil woman who filmed her step son dying on the floor from brain damage instead of phoning an ambulance has been found guilty of manslaughter. Harvey Borrington was only three-years-old when paramedics found him 'unconscious', 'unresponsive' and with 'abnormal body posture' at the family home, Nottingham Crown Court heard.

Leila Borrington, 23 claimed Harvey had fallen from a chair and banged his head but medics concluded that his severe injuries were inflicted by repeated blows rather than a one-off fall. Several other older injuries were also discovered on his tiny body, including a broken arm, the Mirror reports.

The youngster, who had autism and was largely non-verbal, sadly passed away in Nottingham Queen's Medical hospital as a result of serious head injuries. The cruel stepmother was accused of inflicting a serious head injury on the toddler while they were at home along with five other attacks, including one in which the boy suffered a broken arm.
