[Asia Economy Reporter Hana Na] A man in the UK brutally murdered his 2-year-old stepson, and the child's biological mother was accused of neglecting the situation, sparking controversy.


According to foreign media on the 15th (local time), the local court sentenced Martin Curry (36), who was arrested on charges of child abuse and murder, to 22 years in prison, and his partner Sarah O'Brien (33), who was charged with child abuse and aiding and abetting murder, to 8 years in prison on the 11th.


The court pointed out, "The child was killed in his own home, where he should have been safest from danger."


The incident occurred in January at a residence in Doncaster, northern England. At the time, Curry, who was watching pornographic videos, brutally abused Sarah's biological son, Keegan O'Brien (2), because the child was bothering him. Sarah was out at the time.


When the child stopped breathing, Curry called emergency services himself, but when the rescue team arrived at the scene, Keegan was already dead with severe head injuries and heavy bleeding.


At the time, Curry falsely claimed, "I saw the child in bed stop breathing and immediately contacted the rescue team."


However, police investigations revealed that Curry had searched the internet for terms such as "irregular breathing" and "unconscious" two hours before calling the police.


Moreover, it was discovered that the child had suffered fractures to the spine, ribs, and arms caused by external force several weeks before his death, indicating ongoing abuse.


Curry finally admitted, "I was watching pornographic videos, and the child was bothering me, so I got angry and killed him." He also confessed that he neglected the child for a long time after the incident without taking appropriate action.



When the child's biological father learned of the incident, he expressed his anger and frustration in an interview with the media, saying, "I am so angry and frustrated. I want to turn back time to be a better father and share precious moments."
