Child murderer locked tragic boy, 3, inside filthy flat as he screamed to be let out before horror death

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

This is the grotty, cramped flat where a three-year-old child was brutally beaten to death. Kemarni Watson Darby was found lifeless at the flat in June 2018.

He had been repeatedly assaulted by his mother's then partner Nathaniel Pope before he died of painful internal injuries. A court heard his injuries would have required force similar to that caused by a road traffic collision or being stamped on with a 'shod foot'.

Pictures now released by police in the West Midlands show the chaotic living conditions the young endured in the filthy two-bedroom flat in West Bromwich.

They include snapped electrical cables being used to lock Kemarni in a room as he banged on the door and pleaded to let out. READ MORE: It comes as Pope was unanimously convicted of murdering Kemarni by jurors and now faces life behind bars.
