Movies Dad Killed 4 Week-Old Son-BROKE Neck, ALL Joints, Crushed His Ribs -He Died in AGONY

Father 29, Murdered His Four-Week-Old Son by Crushing His Ribs, Breaking His Neck and The Joints of All His Limbs During 10 Days of Abuse

Michael Davis Jailed for LIFE - as the little boys' mother is found guilty of allowing him to die in 'excruciating pain'


MailOnline 10 APR 2024







Michael Davis 29, has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 22 years..







Jurors cleared Ollie's mother, Kayleigh Driver of murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent, but she was jailed for seven years for the crimes of causing or allowing the death of a child and causing or allowing a child to suffer serious physical injury


A father who broke his four-year-old son's neck and left him agony for more than a week before the baby finally succumbed to his injuries has been jailed for life.

Little Ollie Davis, from Leicester, endured 40 broken bones across his tiny limbs and a series of brain injuries after suffering a horrendous campaign of abuse at the hands of his father, Michael Davis, in October 2017.

The violence occurred over a span of several days - potentially as many as 10 before his death - while Ollie's mother, Kayleigh Driver, stood by and did nothing to save him.

The baby's injuries were compared to that of a car crash, but when questioned in police interview, Davis showed no sign of emotion or remorse, and claimed he had 'no idea' how the poor youngster came about his death.

Davis was today jailed for life with a minimum term of 22 years for the murder, while Driver, who the court was told had a mental age of just over 11, was jailed for seven years.

The pair were not charged until four years after Ollie's death, such was the extent of the injuries he suffered and the medical expertise needed to examine them, police said.

They were convicted last month but sentencing was delayed until today as the court tried to make allowances for Driver's disabilities - who today appeared on a mobility scooter due to a chronic neurological condition.

The infant had sustained broken ribs, as well as fractures to his skull, collar bone, both arms and all the joints in his four small limbs before he arrived at Leicester Royal Infirmary on the day of his death.

The tiny baby's 'snapped' neck, sustained about four days before his death, was ruled to be the fatal injury by pathologists.

Sentencing the killer father today, Mr Justice Cotter said the October 2017 murder of innocent month-old Ollie had involved a 'devastating' fatal spinal injury.

The judge, sitting at Loughborough Court, said medical experts had confirmed that the little baby suffered 23 rib fractures and other horrific injuries usually seen after a 'high energy car crash.'

After saying he was sure that Davis had caused all the injuries to his baby during four separate overnight 'episodes' of violence, Mr Justice Cotter added: 'At least five different mechanisms were required to cause this terrible array of injuries.

'Michael Davis, I have no doubt that during the night you became frustrated and angry and this led to terrible violence.

'You assaulted him on multiple occasions. The attacks in their various forms were also brutal - in particular the fatal neck injury.'

The judge told Driver she had clearly lied during the trial and must have heard him screaming when the injuries to her child were inflicted by Davis.

He said Ollie's arm injuries would have led to him being in 'excruciating pain' and that it was 'inconceivable' that she did not know anything was wrong.

But he said her health 'warrants a merciful approach' to sentencing.





Rather than care for and nurture their vulnerable young baby, this child was abused my Michael Davis repeatedly until he killed him. Kayleigh Driver chose to do nothing to stop the abuse. The final days of Ollie's short, tragic life were filled with pain and distress.
