“Finlay’s tragic death: Investigations reveal 57 fractures and 71 bruises in a case of prolonged abuse”

The judge wraps up the day at the end of a tough court case in which Finlay’s baby is at the center. The boy from Derbyshire, England died on Christmas Day 2020 after “prolonged, brutal sadistic abuse”.

Ambulance workers rushed to the home of Finley and his parents who were “messy and dirty” that day, according to British media present at the court. His parents were about to call the emergency number because the boy was having a heart attack. Finlay was taken to hospital but died soon after.

57 fractures, 71 bruises

A major investigation was launched into the child’s death, with doctors concluding that the child had suffered 57 fractures – including his pelvis, leg and right arm – between December 4 and December 22. Additionally, he had 71 bruises and two burns to his left hand. One was caused by “a hot flat surface”, and the other was most likely caused by smoking.
