Pictured here is Harvey Borrington - a three-year-old autistic little boy who was killed by his stepmother. Nottinghamshire Police released the touching image of him playing in the sand with his red bucket as Leila Borrington, his stepmum, was cleared of his murder - but found guilty of his manslaughter.
Borrington wiped away tears as she was convicted of manslaughter. A jury at Nottingham Crown Court deliberated for more than 24 hours over several days before returning their verdicts this afternoon (Tuesday, February 28).
Leila Borrington faced more charges. She was found guilty of inflicting GBH to Harvey - an arm fracture - cleared on three charges of assault, causing bodily harm, and found guilty of one charge of assault, causing bodily harm - where she squeezed his cheeks. Sentencing was adjourned until March 16.
