Dad who punched two-day-old daughter to death, found dead in cell
A father who killed his two-day-old baby girl because she wouldn’t stop crying has been found dead in his prison cell
Liam Deane, 22, was jailed a month ago after pleading guilty to punching his two-day-old baby, Luna, in the face causing fatal injuries.
According to Metro UK, he was found dead in his cell at HMP Leeds on Sunday and another inmate, John Westland, 28, has been charged with murder.
Westland was flanked by two police officers and a member of court escort staff as he was brought into the dock. He remained handcuffed throughout the brief hearing, speaking only to confirm his personal details.
A hearing will take place on Thursday at Leeds Crown Court.
Luna’s mum had left her with Deane while she went to get some sleep.
But Deane lost his temper during the night when Luna continued to cry, Leeds Crown Court heard. Prosecutor Michael Smith said the injuries found on the baby included injuries to her brain, body and face.
Mr Smith said: “He said he was responsible for all of the injuries that she had suffered and he said that Luna had not settled down and he lost control.”
