Mum and Boyfriend Sentenced for Causing Death of Four-Year-Old Son
Scott O'Connor received 18 years and Zoe Coutts 10 years after jurors found they failed to protect Kol Page from sustained abuse.
- On Friday, Scott O'Connor and Zoe Coutts were sentenced at Southwark Crown Court to a combined 27 years in prison for the death of four-year-old Kol Page.
- Evidence showed O'Connor and Coutts lied to authorities, claiming the child's catastrophic injuries were caused by 'clumsiness,' while prosecutors revealed they ruthlessly abused the boy over several months.
- Detectives analyzed mobile phone data proving O'Connor visited the home 28 times in the month prior, while text messages showed the couple exchanging pictures of Kol's injuries and joking about hurting him.
- Sentencing the pair, The Honourable Mr Justice Johnson described the assault as 'deliberate intentional' on an innocent child, while Coutts' foster mother said Kol was 'in so much pain' during his recovery.
- An NSPCC spokesperson called the case 'heartbreaking,' urging anyone with concerns about a child's welfare to contact their free helpline on 0808 800 5000 or call 999 if a child is in immediate danger.
