31-year-old Kane Mitchell left little Teddie with severe injuries, including fractures to his collarbone and skull, and eye, spinal, and brain damage.

According to reports, Mitchell took the life of the newborn baby in the apartment he shared with his girlfriend, 29-year-old Lucci Smith, in St. Neots, Cambridgeshire.

In a two-part special of Channel 4’s 24 Hours in Police Custody, Detective Inspector Lucy Thompson said of Mitchell: “He is completely devoid of any remorse or empathy, that’s the thing I find really hard. It’s all about Kane and not what Teddie’s been through.”

A bodycam also caught the moment the 31-year-old was arrested while pretending to cry.

“I don’t f***** think so. Oh my god, I would never hurt a baby. I’m not leaving my son,” he said.

Detectives used medical evidence of Teddie’s fatal injuries and proved that it was Mitchell who killed the newborn.

According to reports, he crushed the child’s small body with his hands and smashed his tiny head against a hard surface.

“This is akin to Baby P-type injuries,” one detective said, adding that the baby had been attacked five or six times.
