Inside reeking house of horrors with vomit and drugs in bath where parents killed baby

The house where two killer parents beat their 10-month-old to death on Christmas Day while the country was on lockdown was "extremely dirty, smelly and very cluttered", a court heard.

Stephen Boden, 30, and Shannon Marsden, 22, were convicted after a five-month trial at Derby Crown Court on Friday of killing 10-month-old Finley Boden just 39 days after he was placed back into their care.

In court, photographs were shown of the couple's cluttered home, including blood-stained items found by police inside, including a vomit and faeces-stained cot mattress cover, duvet cover, Mickey Mouse babygrow and a "Captain Cute" T-shirt.
