Neil Kirton left a two-month-old baby brain-damaged, then tried to blame a toddler for the injuries.
A man who left a two-month-old boy badly brain-damaged, then tried to blame a toddler for the injuries, has been jailed for seven years.
When it became clear the baby was seriously ill, Kirton suggested to police that an older child could have been rough while cuddling him.The attack happened in July 2020, a few days after the baby's mother and her children moved in with Kirton at his home in Airdrie. When she noticed the baby was cold, pale and not feeding she contacted her GP, who was so concerned she was told to take him to Wishaw General Hospital.Prosecutor Chris Fyffe told the High Court in Paisley the baby was found to have injuries "consistent with shaking and/or strangulation".
Mr Fyffe said: "A devastating lack of oxygen to the brain can be caused if the neck is injured, squeezed or there is strangulation by forceful handling.""He said he did not know any reason as to why would have a bleed on the brain," Mr Fyffe said.In another statement, Kirton remarked hearing a "hard knock" after putting the child on to his changing mat.
