A mum murdered her five-year-old son by poisoning him with anti-depressants. Claire Scanlon, 38, has been found guilty following a trial.
A court was told that emergency services were called to a home in Oldham, Greater Manchester, on New Year's Eve 2021 after reports that Dylan Scanlon was unconscious. Family members and neighbours tried to revive him, but he was pronounced dead.
He had more than 60 bruises all over his body. A toxicology report found that he had nine times the fatal limit of anti-depressants in his system.
