Scott Coombe, a devout Christian and postman, has been sentenced to nine years in prison for the killing of his girlfriend’s 18-month-old son, Andrew Cawker. The tragic incident occurred on July 22, 2019, when Coombe lost control and fatally injured the toddler. Coombe, who had become irritated with Andrew, threw the child to the floor, leading to head injuries that proved fatal a few days later.
