Man jailed for 25 years for killing two-year-old in attack causing 'catastrophic injuries'

A man who killed his partner's two-year-old son in an horrific attack has been locked up for at least 25 years. Kemar Brown was responsible for the brutal assault on non-verbal youngster, Kyrell Matthews, which finally claimed his life.

The fatal attack, which left him with "catastrophic injuries" came after weeks of cruelty at the hands of Brown and Kyrell's mother Phylesia Shirley, The Old Bailey was told.

Now Brown, 28, has been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 25 years after the couple's abuse was caught on secret recordings. He had denied murder but was convicted by a jury and was appearing in court on Friday for sentencing, the Mirror reports.
