Ali Jayden Doyle died from head injuries sustained in a house in Park Avenue in Dungannon in August 2021.
A man who murdered a toddler by throwing her at a fireplace has been told he must spend at least 20 years in jail.
The toddler's mother, Jade Dempsey, was given a three-year probation order after pleading guilty to wilfully neglecting and exposing the little girl to unnecessary suffering and injury.Ali Jayden died on 6 August 2021 at Armstong’s home in the Park Avenue area of Dungannon. In sentencing Armstrong, Mr Justice McAlinden said that he had not shown "one scintilla of remorse or regret" for his actions.Armstrong initially blamed Ali Jayden's one-year old brother for causing the fatal wound by throwing a plastic toy at her which caused her to fall against a fireplace.
As he imposed the minimum term upon Armstrong at a tariff hearing in Belfast Crown Court, Mr Justice McAlinden said he had not expressed any remorse or regret for the "brutal murder" of the child. This was in breach of a Child Protection Plan imposed by social services which banned Armstrong from having contact with the youngsters.
