The girlfriend’s son was subjected to horrific and deliberate abuse for weeks before his death
London: A 27-year-old Indian-origin man has been sentenced to life for the murder of a toddler son of his girlfriend in the UK.
Hardeep Hunjan was convicted of murder earlier this week following the death of 13-month-old Noah Serra- Morrison, who suffered 15 fractures to his body, including a six-inch wound across his skull.

He was sentenced to serve a minimum of 23 years in jail at Luton Crown Court.
Noah’s mother, Ronnie Tayler-Morrison (22), was cleared of murder but, along with Hunjan, jailed for six-and-a-half years for causing or allowing the death of a child and of cruelty to a child under 16.
The couple had claimed that Noah fell from his cot and injured himself, a claim prosecutors said was implausible during the trial at Luton Crown Court in the east of England. The trial heard Noah was subjected to horrific and deliberate abuse for weeks before he died.
Medical experts said the boy’s injuries were similar to those found in people involved in a car crash or who had fallen from a building.
