Teenager murdered baby by shaking him to death
A teenager has been found guilty of murdering a baby boy by shaking him to death.
Elijah Shemwell died on 5 January, 2022, three days after he was found to be pale, limp and drowsy at his mother’s home in Belper, Derbyshire.
Carl Alesbrook, who was 16 at the time, was in a relationship with Elijah’s mother India Shemwell and had been alone looking after the child in her flat.
Alesbrook, now 19, denied harming four-month old Elijah but was convicted after a trial at Derby Crown Court.
