A 39-year-old Nigerian, Marvyn Iheanacho has earned himself a jail term of life imprisonment at the Woolwich Crown Court in London for beating his girlfriend’s five-year-old son to death in a British park for losing one of his worn shoes
According to the report filed before the Court by the Police, Iheanacho was said to have angrily beaten Alex Malcolm, a five-year-old boy for misplacing his shoes at the London park on Nov. 20, 2016.
As presented by the Police upon witnesses’ stories, here is the narrataion of the assault on the young lad that led to imprisonment for Iheanacho:
“The child sustained a deadly brain injury and internal bruising to his stomach; a post-mortem examination concluded this had been caused by a kick, stamp or punch.
“Iheanacho was later seen talking on his phone while a child lay on his back on a bench next to him, a limp arm dangling down.
“Rather than taking the boy to a nearby hospital, only five-minute’ walk away, Iheanacho took him home in a taxi, where he attacked the boy’s mother, Lilya Breha, when she tried to call an ambulance.’’
“Iheanacho subjected that poor little boy to a brutal assault after flying into an uncontrollable rage just because Alex lost one of his shoes.
“Afterwards, Iheanacho came up with various stories to try to cover his tracks, insisted his girlfriend lied to him, and attacked her when she tried to get medical help for her unconscious son”, the Police stated.
Aside, the lost pair of shoe was later found at the park by the Police although the boy died two days after reaching hospital.
