Man tried to murder toddler as helpless mum watched on baby monitor
A horrified mum watched helpless on a baby monitor as a man tried to murder her two-year-old child. Lewis Prince, 29, of Salford has been found guilty of attempting to murder a toddler following a trial.
In the witness box, Prince, a dad-of-two himself, said he had squeezed the toddler's cheeks together but noticed the tot had a burst lip and went to get an ice pack. He said at no point did he smother or strangle the little child. In the weeks before the attack he had 'bottled things up' and had been drinking more than usual. "Pressure bursts pipes", he told the jury.
