Ben Igbinedion, 43, has been found guilty of killing his 3 year old nephew, Daniel Evbuowman after they shared bed.
Ben, of Bromley, southeast London, reportedly assaulted the little child in the early hours of March
2, 2013, after discovering Daniel wet the bed he and his uncle were sharing. After the assault Igbinedion put the child in a different bed, but
when other family members tried to wake Daniel in the morning, they
found him unresponsive. Daniel was taken to a hospital where he died.
During his trial, the court heard that Daniel was put in the care of Igbinedion, who was also left in charge
of his three children while his wife was at work. He
told Daniel and his youngest son that they should sleep in his room,
while his other two children sleep in their own room. One of Igbinedion’s children was woken by him telling off Daniel for wetting the bed, the jury was told.
A post-mortem found that Daniel died from major trauma to his ribs
and pelvis, and established the injuries could not have been caused by a
fall from a bed.
He was convicted
yesterday November 7th for the little boy's murder
