Jack William Davies, 26, and Terrie Marie Wood, 23, have been jailed after their baby girl died from serious injuries.
Couple Locked Up for Baby’s Death
The Stafford pair were found guilty last October of causing or allowing serious physical harm to a child. On Tuesday, 24 February, Birmingham Crown Court sentenced Davies to two years in prison, while Wood received one year and eight months behind bars.
Tragic Injuries Led to Baby’s Death
West Midlands Ambulance Service rushed to their Stafford flat at 8.37am on 5 February 2021 after reports that the baby was in cardiac arrest.
The postmortem revealed horrific injuries including:
- A severe head injury likely sustained days before death
- Multiple broken ribs
Following the investigation, Davies and Wood were immediately arrested and charged.
Police Send Stern Warning on Child Violence
Detective Sergeant Claire Mace said: “This was an incredibly distressing case for all agencies involved. Today’s sentencing sends a clear message that violence against children will never be tolerated. My thoughts remain with everyone affected by this incident. We will continue to work with our partners to protect children from harm, safeguard them, and prevent tragic cases like this one.”
