Mother jailed for life for battering her baby boy to death then posing for a selfie next to him

A mother who took a selfie with the battered body of the 11-month-old son she had beaten, causing him to suffer brain damage which later caused his death, was jailed for 14 years today. Emma Wilson repeatedly hit baby Callum so violently her neighbour's ceiling shook. She then blamed the attack on his two-year-old brother, the Old Bailey heard. Today she was jailed for life and told by the judge she must serve a minimum of 14 years in prison. Judge Stephen Kramer QC told her: 'You are adept at lying and displayed a total lack of emotion throughout the trial. 'You must have been the person who caused his injuries.'

He added: 'You were clearly a good mother to your other son but for some reason you rejected Callum and acted against him. 'Callum was vulnerable and you must have been the person who caused him the injuries which in the last 10 to 14 days of his life made him so miserable which the court saw in photographs, that for some reason you took.' Callum was rushed to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford with 'catastrophic injuries' on March 20, 2011. A post mortem revealed the 11-month-old had suffered fatal brain damage, as well as nine fractured ribs, a broken leg and arm.
