'Appalled' | |
Judge Stephen Kramer described Baby Peter's mother as "manipulative" and "self-centred". | |
He told her boyfriend he would have to serve a minimum of 10 years for raping the two-year-old girl before he could be considered for parole. | |
Baby Peter suffered more than 50 injuries despite being on the at-risk register and receiving 60 visits from social workers, doctors and police over eight months. | |
The judge said: "Any decent person who heard the catalogue of medical conditions and non-accidental injuries suffered by Peter cannot fail to have been appalled." | |
He added: "It was clear that significant force had been used on Peter on a number of occasions. | |
"Whatever the truth of what took place and the role and motivation of each individual, the result was that a child died in horrific circumstances with injuries that can only have caused great pain and distress prior to his death." |
