Mistyrayn Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 A father who killed his one-month-old son because he was jealous of the attention he had from his mother has been jailed for life. In March 2008, disc jockey Brian Saunders, 31, inflicted horrific injuries on baby Rilee, similar to those sustained in a car crash, by violently shaking and smashing him against a hard surface. Saunders was ordered to spend a minimum of 18 years in jail after being found guilty by a jury at Exeter Crown Court. He had denied the charges. When Rilee was taken to hospital, doctors found three groups of injuries: the fatal injury of the fractured skull, brain damage caused by shaking, and a fractured knee, caused by gripping with such force that the cartilage sheared off. Mr Justice Burnett told Saunders, from Torpoint, Cornwall, he was self-centred, manipulative and demanding of attention. He said there was an underlying resentment directed towards Rilee as his arrival meant 19-year-old partner Alicia Clark directed her attention towards the baby. Saunders, from Torpoint, Cornwall, was described in court as violent and 'needy' and had punched Ms Clark during her pregnancy. His explanation for the injuries was that he accidentally knocked Rilee's head on a kitchen cupboard door during a 4am feed. WTF..... i hope he gets what he deserves from the cons inside....
