"A care worker who strangled his seven-year-old son after learning he was to lose custody of the child has been jailed for life.
The court also heard how Kirk, who was on a child protection register after suffering physical and emotional abuse, was killed as he slept.
His last words were reported by his father as being: "What's this scarf doing around my neck daddy?"
Nigel Baker QC, prosecuting, said that Hammersley-Baker had "entertained" two gay lovers at his home while his son's body lay undiscovered in an outhouse. "
After the verdict, Detective Superintendent Jeff Virgo, of Staffordshire Police, said: "He has not shown one iota or remorse."
"It ranks among the saddest cases I have ever dealt with."
