Baby Killer Benjamin Roach Jailed for Seven Years

Benjamin Roach, once shuttling between Plymouth and Essex and now believed to be hiding out in Gosport, Hampshire, was slammed with a seven-year prison sentence in 2013. He was found guilty of causing fatal injuries to his baby daughter, Roxie.

Shocking Injuries Compared to Car Crashes

Court heard how the four-week-old suffered horrific trauma. Medical experts revealed Roxie’s injuries were so severe they matched those seen in serious road accidents. These were no accidental bumps – the damage came from brutal shaking and a violent blow.

Tragic Toll: Baby’s Life Support Pulled

  • Retinal haemorrhages
  • Severe brain and skull bleeding
  • Long-term damage would have meant blindness and brain injury

Despite desperate attempts to save her, Roxie was taken off life support just 24 hours later.

Roach has shown a chilling lack of regret for his actions. Reports reveal he’s spinning false stories about why he’s locked up, dodging responsibility by blaming fights with grown men instead of the death of his baby daughter.

This brutal child abuse case remains one of the darkest ever heard in UK courts, stirring outrage and raising alarm across the nation.
