Man found guilty of murdering toddler
A man has been found guilty of murdering a toddler who was left in a locked bathroom.
Isabella Rose Wheildon was found dead in a pushchair at a temporary housing unit in Sidegate Lane, Ipswich, on 30 June last year.
Her mother Chelsea Gleason-Mitchell and former partner Scott Jeff, both 24 and previously from Bedfordshire, denied murder.
The jury at Ipswich Crown Court has found Jeff guilty of murder, while Gleason-Mitchell was found not guilty.
Gleason-Mitchell previously admitted causing or allowing the death of a child, cruelty to a child in relation to cocaine, and cruelty to a child in relation to cannabis.
A sentencing hearing is due on 13 December.
Isabella was found under a pile of blanket with “traumatic injuries” by a police officer.
The trial, which began on 8 October, heard from expert witnesses that she had suffered from “crash-like” injuries including broken and shattered bones.
