Tiny Baby Died After Dad Shook Her 'Like a Ragdoll' - Liverpool Echo

When Thomas Holford, aged 20, cared for his infant daughter Everleigh Stroud overnight from April 20 to 21, 2021, he violently shook the five-week-old baby, causing severe injuries.
Holford admitted to smoking at least five cannabis joints the day before he was left alone caring for Everleigh while his partner was out celebrating a birthday.
Everleigh suffered catastrophic brain injuries, multiple fractures, bruising, anal injuries, and eye atrophy, leaving her vegetative until her death on May 27, 2022.
After more than 20 hours of deliberation, a jury unanimously found Holford guilty of murder and actual bodily harm, and Judge Fordham sentenced him to life with a minimum of 16 years.
This case highlights the vulnerability of infants dependent on caregivers and urges anyone concerned for child safety to contact the NSPCC Helpline for support.
