Mother and boyfriend guilty of murdering her two-year-old daughter
The jury heard weeks of abuse evidence, including 21 broken bones and almost 100 bruises, before convicting the pair of murder and child cruelty.
- On Tuesday, a Teesside Crown Court jury convicted Alexandra Walker, 26, and Harrison Simpson, 22, of murdering her two-year-old daughter, Isabelle Welsh, with both also found guilty of child cruelty and Simpson convicted of sexual assault.
- Prosecutors revealed Isabelle suffered 21 broken bones and nearly 100 bruises over two months, with medical experts testifying she sustained a "catastrophic head injury" from violent shaking and impact against a hard surface.
- Walker delayed calling emergency services on September 13, 2025, instead searching "why would my toddler be bleeding" online; paramedics found Isabelle cold, not breathing, and covered in bruises upon arrival.
- Justice Norton will sentence both defendants on Thursday for the murder convictions, which carry mandatory life terms; Isabelle's family stated she "should have had her whole life ahead of her."
- The couple met on Facebook Dating six weeks before the murder, yet Walker had previously voiced concerns Simpson might be a paedophile and checked the Sex Offenders' Register before continuing to leave him alone with Isabelle.
