Mother is found guilty of torturing her toddler son, who was discovered with 37 separate injuries, to death

Rebecca Shuttleworth

Rebecca Shuttleworth, 25, subjected son Keanu Williams to horrific abuse and left him to die before calling emergency services 48 hours later, Birmingham Crown Court heard.
At the start of the trial, prosecutor Christopher Hotten QC told the jury Keanu's injuries, catalogued for the jury in harrowing detail in a set of body diagrams, were not an 'isolated event' but had been the culmination of a long period of abuse. Shuttleworth faces a mandatory life sentence after being convicted of murder and will be sentenced tomorrow.
