A baby who was murdered by her mother's partner in Radcliffe was unlawfully killed, an inquest has ruled today. Orianna Crilly-Cifrova, aged only 13 months, was killed by Jamie Chadwick in October 2019.
Chadwick — under strict orders not to have contact with children — ‘projected’ the baby ‘against a hard surface’, pathologist Dr Charles Wilson said. At the time, Orianna’s mother — Chelsea Crilly, from Atherton — was out of the property.
A trial had heard that when she returned, Orianna was 'almost lifeless' and had suffered two 'very severe blows' to her skull. Chadwick was sentenced to life in prison, to serve a minimum of 18 years, in March 2020.
