(UK) Father who killed his newborn son 'in a moment of pure violence' jailed for life

[Grant]

Tony Bartlett, of Axminster, Devon, faces a minimum term of 18 years behind bars after attacking Atticus Bartlett on 16 July 2022 in a "sudden fit of anger".

The 39-year-old and his then-partner Evelyn Ballentyne, Atticus's mother, had gone to a pub and comedy club that evening, Bristol Crown Court previously heard.
Bartlett drank eight-and-a-half pints of lager over the course of the evening before returning home with Ms Ballentyne, and was left alone to feed Atticus in the living room, while she went upstairs to change around 11pm.
He then violently shook Atticus, it was alleged, causing severe internal injuries to the baby's brain and spinal cord.

Atticus' brain damage was so severe that he did not regain consciousness or manage to breathe for himself, and he died at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children just before midnight on 23 July 2022.

They say don't judge a book by its cover... But I'd say that cover is pretty descriptive.

I got nothing against tattoos but when you decide to look that... I judge the hell out of you.

Get a Turkish transplant like a normal baldie.

Never understood what would possess someone to tattoo themselves like that.

None at all - unlike you, covered head to toe.

Guy looks incapable of self control.

He'll fit in seeing he's well on his way to tattoos.

Hope he never makes it out.

He was convicted by a jury following a trial at Bristol Crown Court and has now been sentenced at the same court to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 18 years.

I cannot think of any good reason to let this psychopath out.

Mr Justice John Cavanagh told Bartlett he was "very drunk" when he carried out the fatal attack on Atticus, becoming frustrated when the baby would not feed.

"I have no doubt that this terrible tragedy would not have happened if you were not so heavily intoxicated," the judge said.
"In your drunken state, Atticus' inability to take the bottle as well as you thought he should enraged you.

Also, who the fuk gets drunk like this when they have a kid to look after? 8.5 pints?

Child-killers need to be punished in the highest level of hell if you believe in that kinda stuff.
