A mother who carried out a "campaign of cruelty" against her three-year-old son has been convicted of his murder. Christina Robinson, 30, lost her temper and violently shook her son Dwelaniyah at the family home in Bracken Court, Ushaw Moor, Durham, in November 2022.
The defendant, originally from Tamworth, Staffordshire, was convicted of murder and four child cruelty charges. The jury found that Robinson did cause a fatal brain injury to her son on November 5, 2022, while she was the only adult in the house. Richard Wright KC, prosecuting, said: "In other words, somebody had been deliberately hurting this little boy and had been doing so over a period of time. That person was his mother, the defendant Christina Robinson."
