Описание к видео Parents jailed for life over murder of 10-month-old Finley Boden

A couple who murdered their 10-month-old son on Christmas Day 2020 just weeks after he was returned to their care were both jailed for life.

Shannon Marsden, 22, and Stephen Boden, 30, burnt and beat Finley Boden, leaving him with 130 separate injuries, including multiple bone breaks and fractures.

He died just a few weeks after being returned by authorities to his parents home in Chesterfield.

His injuries included a fractured thigh and broken pelvis, burn marks and 71 bruises. Finley also had sepsis and endocarditis - an infection of the lining of the heart.

Boden and Marsden denied murder but were convicted after a trial at Derby Crown Court.

The judge, Mrs Justice Tipples, passed life sentences on both, with Marsden to serve a minimum term of 27 years and Boden 29 years.

She described the pair as "persuasive and accomplished liars" who inflicted "unimaginable cruelty" on their son.
