A nine-year-old boy killed by his mother and her partner during lockdown suffered “unimaginable fear and distress” before being found in the bath with more than 50 injuries.
Alfie Steele was found unresponsive at his home in Droitwich, Worcestershire, in February 2021. The schoolboy was repeatedly assaulted, beaten and put in a cold bath as part of a cruel and “sinister” regime of punishment inflicted on him for months by his mother, Carla Scott, 35, and her partner, career-criminal Dirk Howell, 41.
Following a six-week trial, jurors at Coventry Crown Court took 10 hours and 13 minutes to find Scott guilty of Alfie’s manslaughter, returning a majority verdict of 11 to one on Tuesday. She was cleared of his murder. Howell was found guilty of Alfie’s murder by unanimous verdict.
