Sian Hedges, 27, and her ex-boyfriend, Jack Benham, 35, were found guilty of murdering Alfie on November 28, 2020, at Benham’s caravan in Hernhill, near Faversham, Kent. The court heard that on that fateful night, the pair had been consuming whisky and cocaine, and traces of the Class A drug were discovered in Alfie’s body.
