A man who killed his baby son by causing him skull fractures and brain injuries has been jailed for 15 years.

David Hollick, 29, claimed he had tripped and fallen while carrying Kairo, Birmingham Crown Court was told.

But medical experts said the six-month-old, who died at Birmingham Children's Hospital in 2020, had suffered injuries consistent with an assault.

Jurors were told how Kairo suffered at least two skull fractures and a fracture to his right arm, while in the care of his father three days before he died.

Prosecutor David Mason KC said Kairo "had not only been shaken violently, but his head had been bashed at least twice" with a hard object.

The trial heard Hollick's ex-partner, Adina Johnson, had dropped their son off at his home as usual on 7 February for the weekend, and while Kairo had a cold at the time, she had no other concerns about his health.

Hollick was staying in the conservatory at his parents' home because of a lack of bedroom space when he moved back in with them after his relationship with Ms Johnson ended.
