Eli Cox suffered catastrophic injuries during his short life
A MUM-OF-NINE and her evil lover have been caged for nearly 22 years over the horrific death of her baby.
Five-month-old Eli Cox was found with 28 fractures to 19 bones and a catastrophic brain injury.
Prosecutors said the injuries appeared to show the tot had been “twisted, pulled, crushed and bent in half”.
The tragic baby collapsed at his home on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, on April 13 last year and died two weeks later in hospital.
Katherine Cox, 33, was jailed for eight years and Danny Shepherd, 26, was sentenced to 13-and-a-half years behind bars after being found guilty of causing or allowing physical harm to a child.
Jennifer Knight prosecuting said: “It was the actions of one of them that resulted in the catastrophic brain injury that Eli Cox suffered that day.
“Both were aware in the weeks leading up to April 13 and on the day of his death that Eli Cox was at serious risk of physical harm.”

Danny Shepherd was caged for 13-and-a-half years
Maidstone Crown Court was told Shepherd has faced violence from other inmates in prison while awaiting sentence, because of the nature of his crime.
They also denied possessing the Class B drug amphetamine on April 14, but a jury convicted them of all charges in August.
Mr Justice Stuart-Smith said he sentenced Cox on the basis she did not take part in inflicting any injuries on Eli but was aware of the risk Shepherd posed by the time of the last harm on April 13.
He said of Shepherd: “Overall, he knows what he has done. It is not that he is not remorseful, he is not prepared to face up to what he has done.”

Police found amphetamine at the couple’s home in Kent
Following the trial, Kent County Council confirmed it would carry out a Serious Case Review to establish if Eli’s death could have been prevented.
Such reviews are carried out if abuse or neglect is thought to have been a factor in the death of a child, but the results of the process are not expected to be known until next year.
A Kent County Council spokesman said: “The Serious Case Review was not scheduled to be undertaken before the end of the court case, and is unlikely to be completed before February at the earliest.”
