Rot in hell – that is the verdict of Lauren Hamblin, whose boyfriend Charlie Henderson viciously attacked his own infant daughter.

Any parent would rightly agree.

Words cannot describe how appalling Henderson’s actions were, actions which left his defenceless baby with a fractured skull and broken ribs.

The nonsensical mitigation that he was under “considerable pressure” is almost as offensive.

No amount of stress can excuse such a vile attack – the six year sentence rightly shows society’s disgust towards such violence.

We can only hope Chloe’s physical and mental scars are healed as she grows up and Henderson comes to terms with his savage act.
