A postman who battered his girlfriend's toddler to death after months of abuse has been jailed.
Scott Coombe, 24, abused 18-month-old Andrew Cawker for months while the boy's mum Tamika Beaton, 25, turned a blind eye to the injuries he was causing to her son. Today, Friday, Coombe has been jailed for nine years, reported The Mirror.
However the mum, Beaton, who denied the charge but was convicted of child cruelty, was spared jail by a judge. Andrew suffered a head injury on July 9, 2019, and died in King's College Hospital, London, 13 days later.
