Mum killer

Mother who killed son 'because he looked like his father' jailed for 33 years

The 43-year-old woman and 48-year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were found guilty of murder in the New South Wales Supreme Court in April.

The toddler, known as Joseph, died from extensive and horrific injuries to his head and body after months of violent abuse.

The court was told the mother admitted to police that she had thoughts about killing her son because she "just didn't connect with him".
