Lying Leila Borrington gave a "false account" a break to her stepson's arm was "an accident", said a judge. Mr Justice Nicklin sentenced her for two violent attacks on vulnerable three-year-old Harvey Borrington before she ultimately killed him in one final act of violence.
The judge spoke to Borrington in the dock as he sentenced her on Thursday (March 16) to 15 years for the manslaughter of Harvey, who was three years and eight months when he died.
As Harvey's carer, first aid-trained Borrington delayed giving medical help to Harvey and videoed him unconscious on the living room floor. His death from a sustained violent assault, where he suffered a skull fracture, was the culmination of violence at the hands of Borrington, who caused a spiral fracture to his left arm months earlier on April 24, 2021,
