A DAD has been found guilty of murdering his seven-month-old son today.
Kane Kennedy, 20, killed little Oskar Jobey-Kennedy by smothering him at a flat sometime between Wednesday, September 30 and Thursday, October 1 last year, a court heard.
A jury was told that Kennedy pushed his fingers into Oskar’s mouth – possibly in a bid to silence him – and put his hand over his mouth, deliberately smothering the child.
Paramedics attended the address in Morecambe, Lancs., shortly before 9am after a report that seven month-old Oskar had been fond unresponsive.
The baby was then taken to the Royal Lancaster Infirmary but was pronounced dead shortly afterwards and a post mortem examination showed the baby had died from smothering.
The court heard there were a catalogue of other non-accidental injuries on the infant’s body – including to his genitals and inside the baby’s mouth, consistent with fingers being pushed forcibly inside.
Detective Chief Inspector Jon Holmes, of Lancashire Constabulary said: “The level of injuries inflicted on this defenceless child by Kennedy are frankly obscene.
“It is almost impossible to understand the mind-set of someone who could do this to any child, let alone their own son.
“My thoughts remain with the wider family of baby Oskar who have been through so much over the last year.
