Paedophile Harrison Simpson and mother Alexandra Walker jailed for life for murdering two-year-old daughter
The court said Isabelle Rose Welsh suffered 21 fractured bones and almost 100 bruises and abrasions before her death.
- On Thursday, Justice Norton sentenced Alexandra Walker and Harrison Simpson to life imprisonment at Teesside Crown Court for murdering two-year-old Isabelle Rose Welsh, imposing minimum terms of 22 years and 28 years and six months respectively.
- The Court heard how Isabelle suffered 21 fractured bones and almost 100 bruises during two months of abuse, as jurors viewed CCTV footage documenting her rapid decline after Simpson began spending time in her Thornaby home last year.
- Justice Norton branded the murder "sadistic," noting that evidence confirmed sexual abuse was not confined to a single occasion, and the Court found Simpson responsible for injuries consistent with the fatal head trauma.
- Trial testimony revealed Walker searched online to determine if Simpson was a convicted paedophile before the abuse escalated; while she blamed Simpson for the death, she was convicted of murder and child cruelty, though cleared of sexual abuse.
- Paramedics found Isabelle unconscious at her Hartington Close home last September after suffering a fractured skull and brain damage, discovering she was "gravely unwell and her heart had stopped beating" before dying in hospital.
