Man guilty of murdering two-week-old son in Somerset baby unit

Daniel Gunter convicted for attack on Brendon Staddon, causing skull and neck injuries, while nurses worked nearby

A man has been found guilty of murdering his two-week-old son in a special care baby unit in Somerset by shattering his skull and breaking his neck while nurses worked less than 5 metres away.

Experts said the injuries that Daniel Gunter, 27, caused to Brendon Staddon were like those they would expect to see in someone who had fallen from a high building, but the attack was so swift and silent that staff did not realise what was going on.
