Death

Collette Harris, 30, from Dartford in Kent was today sentenced 16 years in prison for the brutal murder of her 21-month-old son Bobby Louch.

Little Bobby had more than 80 injuries to his little body and head along with burns to his hand when he died just 4-days before Christmas 2008.

He had suffered fatal brain and abdomen injuries that were described as usually only seen after a car accident.  He had extensive bleeding in his skull and spine and severe damage to his internal organs after either being kicked or punched in the stomach.

The Old Bailey heard that the majority of the injuries had been received leading up to the 48 hours before this little lads death.

His evil mother denied killing or deliberately injuring her son and was said to have collapsed and screamed after the jury found her guilty of the crime.

Harris had been living with her new boyfriend James Phillips, 25, from Erith in Kent and the couple blamed each other for the child’s suffering but Phillips was found not guilty of murder, manslaughter and causing or allowing the death at the hearing.

The child’s natural father Dan Louch, had spent the time leading up to Christmas with his son but had seen no evidence of any abuse but within two-days of returning to his mothers home the child was spotted with bruising, with his mother refusing to take him to hospital in case it was believed that she had been beating him, the following day Bobby died.

Just three weeks before the toddlers death he had been treated at the Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford, Kent, after suffering a fractured ankle.  Bobby was kept in for observation and a scan as he also had bruising to his forehead but the injury was considered to have been caused by accident and he was released with his leg in plaster the following day.

This woman should have been given the death penalty for what she did to this child, prison is the easy option not a punishment.  No doubt she will be released with a whole new identity and can get on with the rest of her life, what life did this little boy have apart from suffering and abuse.  RIP Little Bobby and ROT IN HELL COLLETTE HARRIS,  I hope you one day get what you deserve.
