  • The father of four-month-old Dallas Kelly was jailed for at least 18 years for murdering the child.
    Reece Kelly, 31, admitted shaking the baby but claimed he had not intended to cause death or serious harm.
    He admitted manslaughter, but was convicted of a more serious charge of murder following a trial at Carlisle Crown Court.
    Kelly was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 18 yers.
    His partner, Georgia Wright, 23, was convicted of child cruelty and jailed for three years. She was cleared of causing or allowing the death of a child.
    Paramedics were called to the couple's home in October 2021 after Kelly called an ambulance to say Dallas was not breathing.
    Wright was at work at the time, having left Kelly to look after him.
    Medics gave first aid at the scene and Dallas was taken to hospital, but he died later that evening.
    A pathologist found Dallas had bleeds over his brain and his eyes, often associated with deliberate head injuries.
    He also had fingertip bruising on his chest, consistent with being squeezed, and six fractured ribs.
    Passing sentence, Mr Justice Dove told Kelly: "This was the murder of a young baby, an extremely vulnerable person [and] a breach of trust - the trust placed in you as a parent by that child.
    "All of the potential of Dallas to grow up, to bring life and joy to others, to play a fulfilling role in the community in which we all live, was all snuffed out when you shook the life from him on 15 October, 2021."
