DCI Greg McGill of Derbyshire Constabulary speaks outside Derby Crown Court after Carl Alesbrook is sentenced for the murder of four-month-old Elijah Shemwell. Elijah's mother, India Shemwell was also sentenced for two counts of child cruelty.
A twisted teenager who killed his ex-girlfriend's baby by brutally shaking him to death told police that they were 'boring' during an interview.
But a detective called his bluff in an interview saying: 'This was a lie, there is no message saying"where are you?" Carl Alesbrook killed his ex girlfriend's baby by brutally shaking him to death. He told police that they were 'boring' during an interview An autopsy found Alesbrook shook his then-partner's son so violently he suffered 'catastrophic' brain injuries and broken bones.
Elijah Shemwell was just four months old when he was shaken to death by his mother's partner Carl Alesbrook who was often looking after Elijah while the baby's mother was at work The prosecution alleged that a toothache suffered by Alesbrook at the time may also have caused him to lose his temper with Elijah.
She said: 'It is the prosecution's case that she should have appreciated shortly after he had been shaken, for probably the second time, that Elijah was very unwell and needed medical attention.
A victim impact statement by Shemwell's mother, Rachel Shemwell, read to the court by Ms Marshall, said her daughter was 'not the best of mums' and things could have 'turned out differently' if she had asked for help. Detective Chief Inspector Greg McGill, who led the investigation into Elijah's death, said: 'While a child himself, even a teenager knows the fatal risks posed by shaking a four-month-old baby boy.
