A mum and her sadistic boyfriend who killed her nine-year-old son in a "sinister" campaign of violence have been jailed.
Alfie Steele died on February 18, 2021 after being found with 50 injuries all over his body. He had been hit with a leather belt and "dunked" in the bath at his home in Droitwich, Worcestershire.
Today, his mum, Carla Scott, was jailed for 27 years after being found guilty of manslaughter and child cruelty. Her fiancé, career criminal Dirk Howell, was convicted of murder, and was jailed for 32 years.
