A father who murdered his month-old baby son - who died after suffering a "snapped neck" - has been sentenced to life in prison.

Ollie Davis was found lifeless in his crib in the bedroom he shared with his parents in Leicester in October 2017 with more than 20 broken ribs and fractures to his skull, collar bone, both arms and the joints of all his limbs.

Michael Davis, 29, was found guilty of his murder and two counts of grievous bodily harm last month, while the baby's mother Kayleigh Driver, 31, was convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child and causing or allowing serious physical injury.

The pair were found guilty after a two-month trial which heard Ollie's "neck was snapped between four and eight days prior to his death".

Davis was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 22 years today, while Driver was jailed for seven years
