A woman filmed her autistic three-year-old stepson as he lay on the living room floor, dying from a brain injury.
Leila Borrington killed Harvey Borrington by slapping him "multiple times" around the head, having committed two other attacks in the previous four months which left him with a broken arm and marks on his face. Nottingham Crown Court was told Borrington lied about what had happened to Harvey, who had severe non-verbal autism, when paramedics arrived at her home in Main Road, Jacksdale, in August 2021.
Borrington also delayed calling emergency services after inflicting "unsurvivable" injuries, including a skull fracture, on Harvey, instead sending a text message to the boy's father reading: "Why does this happen to me?"
