Footage shows the step dad of Alfie Steele threatening to burn down a neighbour's home after locals reported his "sadistic" attacks on the nine-year-old to the police.
Alfie died on February 18, 2021 after being found with 50 injuries all over his body, having been hit with a leather belt and "dunked" in the bath at his home in Droitwich, Worcestershire.
Dirk Howell, 41, was sentenced to 32 years in prison for murder while his girlfriend and Alfie's mum Carla Scott, 35, was given 27 years for manslaughter. Both were also convicted of child cruelty offences.
