Carl Alesbrook, now 19, has been sentenced to a minimum of 14 years in prison for the murder of his girlfriend's four-month-old baby, Elijah Shemwell, whom he shook to death when he was 16. The incident resulted in catastrophic brain injuries, fractures, and bruises on Elijah's body, with medical evidence indicating that the baby was shaken on multiple occasions. Alesbrook was convicted of murder and grievous bodily harm after a five-week trial at Derby Crown Court. His ex-partner, India Shemwell, received a three-year sentence for child cruelty, including failing to promptly seek medical help for Elijah. Alesbrook and Shemwell had been in a relationship for only seven weeks when the tragedy occurred. The case highlights the severe consequences of child abuse and the importance of safeguarding vulnerable children.
