A five-year-old boy was killed by his stepfather because he was jealous of the attention he received from his mother, a court has heard.

Tyler Whelan died in March last year after collapsing at his home in Sheepwalk, Paston, near Peterborough.

His stepfather, Elvis Lee, 34, of Crabtree, Paston, Peterborough, has admitted manslaughter on March 7 but denies murder.

Mr Lee had a history of violence and was attending anger management courses.

The fatal injuries occured when Tyler's mother, Stephanie Whelan, was taking his older sister to school.

Prosecutor Christopher Donnellan told Cambridge Crown Court that the boy had suffered 'non-accidental' injuries including a broken leg and injuries to his penis in the year leading up to his death.

The jury was told Mr Lee hurt Tyler because he had interrupted his sleep, or he because he was jealous of the attention the boy received.

Stephanie Whelan, Tyler’s mother, denies causing or allowing a child’s death.

Mr Donnellan said that on the day of his death Tyler was covered in severe bruises after he was kicked, hit and bitten by Lee.

'It would have been apparent to her that he had been harmed several hours before he was taken to hospital,' Mr Donnellan added.

Doctors were so concerned about an incident in June the previous year in which Tyler suffered a broken leg that they contacted social services, Mr Donnellan said.

It was later decided no intervention was required.

Mr Donnellan told jurors that Whelan knew Lee was capable of violence as she had herself suffered a series of attacks.

Mr Donnellan added: 'He died from a number of injuries which he suffered a few hours before he was taken to hospital.

'These included a blunt force trauma to the head and a blunt force trauma to the abdomen. Only two adults were responsible for his care that morning.

'Mr Lee, from his plea of guilty to manslaughter, accepts he caused those injuries.'

Lee, 34, of Crabtree, Paston, and Whelan, 27, of Sheepwalk, Paston, originally from Wigan, both deny three further counts of cruelty, relating to their alleged failure to quickly seek medical treatment for earlier injuries.

The case continues at Cambridge Crown Court

And wasn't he a cute little man. Killed my a fucking monster. Is it me or does his hand look swollen?

[Tundratot]

Sounds to me like his mom was as guilty as the assmunch who actually caused the injuries. She knew all about it. Allowed him to be injured seriously before, left him alone with Lee, and failed to get him care. Poor little man. He didn't deserve to have that bastard in his life.

A couple gave "inconsistent" stories about events surrounding the death of a five-year-old boy, a jury has heard.Tyler Whelan died in March 2011 after suffering "blunt-force trauma" to the head and abdomen, Cambridge Crown Court was told.
Elvis Lee, 34, denies murder. His partner, Tyler's mother, Stephanie Whelan, 27, denies causing or allowing his death.
Both are from the Paston area of the city.
The court heard evidence of Tyler's numerous other injuries at the time of his death, including 18 injuries to his face and neck, 17 to his body, 10 to his arms and hands, and 13 to his legs, including a human bite mark.
Mr Lee has admitted manslaughter and said that he kicked Tyler in the stomach on the morning he died, but said this was a one-off incident.
The jury was told statements from Mr Lee and Ms Whelan were "full of inconsistencies".
When en route to the hospital, they told a relative that Tyler had fallen down the stairs, but they later told police he had fallen from a stool in the kitchen.
They also claimed Tyler had eaten two bowls of cereal after the fall, but the court heard Tyler would have been unable to eat and no trace of cereal was found in his stomach.
The prosecution has said Tyler died as a result of a catalogue of injuries inflicted over several months.

Tyler died without the love and protection that should have been his...died scared, heartbroken. His mother failed. There is no making up for that.
I'm so sorry Tyler if there were a way, I'd make it right.

angel kisses...

He is so precious. The picture from his funeral broke my heart right up. I hope both his mother and piece of shit boyfriend rot in prison. How do you harm a child and how does a mother turn a blind eye? It's not right. They knew it wasn't right or they wouldn't have lied about it. Once again mommy put her penis before her son. I bet they didn't take him to the hospital because they didn't want CPS involved again. She let him die. She has as much blame as the monster who savagely beat him.

What a beautiful little boy. He would have fit right in over here with our sons. Tyler - you were loved while you were on this earth. You just didn't know it. I'm so sorry for what happened to you.

Child murderer Elvis Lee protested his innocence and swore at the jury after they convicted him of killing Tyler Whelan.

The eight men and four women had been deliberating for more than 10 hours when they returned to court to deliver their verdict at 3.30pm yesterday.
[...]

Both Lee and Whelan sobbed and hung their heads as they sat in the dock, while Mr Justice Nicol thanked the jury for their attention during the case.

There were also cheers from the public gallery, with a number of family members in tears following the verdict.

Whelan, who has been on bail throughout the case, was remanded into custody. She will be sentenced in June.

Christopher Donnellan, prosecuting, said Lee had 25 convictions for 56 offences, dating back to when he was a 17-year-old and convicted of affray. In 1998 he was convicted of damaging property.

He was jailed for four months in December 1999 for assault occasioning actual bodily harm and for another 12 months in January 2003 for dangerous driving.

In 2010 he received a supervision order including an integrated domestic abuse programme to deal with anger management issues after being convicted of battery, when he assaulted an ex-partner.

During the trial, he admitted kicking Whelan in the face during a domestic row in January 2011 but no charges were brought in the matter.

Judge Mr Justice Nicol said Lee would receive a life sentence, with a minimum of 15 years, when he is sentenced at Cambridge Crown Court today.

I hope the bitch gets the same sentence.

Swore at the jury eh? I hope he loses it like that with the board whenever he is up for parole. Hopefully then he can get what he really deserves, which is to die in jail.

An unemployed grown man jealouse of a 5yr old?

A motherfucking Narcissist who's completely aware his looks are going & will soon not be able to use them to charm his new Narcissistic Supplying victims.

I'm pretty sure his mom is either a narcissist herself (or his dad) or it's a fact that they both hate him for being what he is.

remarkable sentence for the U.K.

[Tundratot]

I guess that's about as good as we can expect.

Letting them off the cruelty charge--inexplicable. They were nothing but cruel in hurting that child and letting him suffer and finally die. But I guess it makes little difference now.
